Equine facilities

We provide students with access to world-class equine facilities, including two international competition arenas - indoor and outdoor, four additional arenas, stabling for 230 horses (including students’ own horses), a state-of-the-art rider performance centre with riding simulators, and our own Equine Therapy Centre.

All of our equine facilities are prioritised to enhance the student experience, whether you choose a riding or non-riding course. They are used for lectures, practicals and seminars. The facilities also provide work experience and volunteering opportunities to support student and staff research, and to provide experience of ‘real world’ situations.

Our facilities are used by world-class riders and horses from around the globe including international equestrian champions Charlotte Dujardin, CBE and Valegro.

We provide students with the opportunity to bring their horse (or horses) with them while they study. We currently have 140 stables available for student livery at Hartpury - these stables are built within eight different barns.
