What
about the equine courses? The college's Equine
Unit is a BHS Examination Centre, training up
to BHSI. Horses are taken for commercial livery
including breaking and schooling and a breeding
section operates within the unit, so there's every
opportunity to follow your equine interest whatever
it is.
The stable yard contains more than 80 horses,
there's an outdoor school and two indoor ones.
There's a cross country schooling paddock, four
cross country courses, an equine therapy laboratory,
a weighbridge (so watch all those meals at the
Bishop's Table!), solarium and treadmill. Students
take an active part in the organisation of the
many competitions organised by the Equine Department,
and you'll be encouraged to compete either your
own horse - you can bring it with you - or one
owned by the College. You
can study at any level, from part time study for
BHS exams to BTEC National Certificate, Advanced
National Certificate, National Diploma and Advanced
Diploma. Students can progress to HND and Degree
courses, too. The college's beautifully produced
prospectus will tell you more.
