Is
to help people to care for their horses
and ponies in a healthy and more natural
way, so providing
a better life for horses in general. We
care about horses. The courses are run on
a relaxed and friendly basis. The course
notes are written in informal every day
language rather than in textbook style.
Any text book terms are avoided or clearly
explained. A course tutor is available for
help and advise if you wish. For those who
haven't studied for a few years, this relaxed
attitude is ideal.
Courses
in equine care and management have
been running from Lingfield for 8 years.
The courses are based on the BHS' Stage
Theory and among our course tutors are instructors
who have held BHS teaching qualifications
for more than 20 years. They have trained
many students for professional qualifications
and are listed on the BHS Register of Instructors.
Above all, they have many years of practical
experience teaching people in the real world.
The
course notes are suitable for
all standards from non-horse owner to experienced
groom or owner. The material covers everything
from basic daily care, psychology and feeding
through to ailments and fittening competition
horses for activities like eventing. A good
number of our students are new to horses
and just want to learn more about horse
care in general. Others have already bought
their first horse and now realise that there
is a lot more to learn than they thought
or are just fed up being given so much conflicting
advise. These students are not aiming for
qualifications, they just love horses and
want to treat them properly and learn how
to make their equine friends happy and less
stressed.
A
large proportion of our 600 students
are mature people aiming at a career change,
or who wish to start an equestrian business
and feel that our Equine Care & Management
certificates or the BHS Horse Owners Certificate
will provide their clients with evidence
of their knowledge on the theory of stable
management.
Of
the more mature students
who enrol many work full time and / or have
a family and / or horse. Perhaps they have
insufficient funds or little free time to
train on a full time basis. Working from
home at your own speed makes sense in today's
busy world. There is no set time for completion
of any course; you can fit your studies
in around your other commitments.
