Course summary
Study for a degree that equips you with the knowledge to enhance equine performance while providing you with strategic business skills essential for success in the equine industry. As a student at ARU in Writtle you can choose to follow one of two pathways: equitation and coaching, or breeding and production. If your interests lie in horsemanship, riding and coaching, our equitation and coaching pathway will give you the opportunity to upskill, and prepare for potential careers in training, coaching and sports performance. Or, if you have a strong interest in horse breeding, the breeding and production pathway lets you focus on the skills and technical knowledge you need to be at the forefront of this expanding industry. Whichever pathway you choose, you’ll find there’s a focus on business practices, with modules on brand management and a consultancy project where you’ll develop processes, websites and apps for an external company. We also host guest speakers and seminars from key industry figures, giving you the opportunity to build your professional network. You’ll be based in the Equine Training and Development Centre, which offers extensive facilities including a working stable yard, riding arenas and an equine therapy barn. There are around 70 horses on campus, and you’re able to bring your own horse to university too: find out more about our DIY Livery Yard. There are a number of ways to study this course. As well as our 3-year full-time degree, you have the option of studying over:
