"I'd recommend Hartpury over everywhere else not just because of the education, but the experiences are second to none. They have a whole community there and it's just unbelievable."
From an early age, I've been striving to get into veterinary medicine and Hartpury’s role in getting me to this point in my career development has been outstanding – particularly from the ICE team, I wouldn’t be where I am, achieving my finest accomplishment, without their support.
Seeing weekly competitions has helped to establish my presence in the industry while helping me prepare for the Asian Games in 2026.
Hartpury has helped me to develop my social skills and taught me a lot about balancing social life with academic achievement, all while preparing me for the future.
"I didn’t think I was very academic at school, but then I came to Hartpury and realised I love learning about equine science."
"Hartpury was a fantastic grounding for my career as I learnt about all aspects of horse management, as well as health and anatomy, which now helps me to evaluate any injuries my horses may pick up and the best way to deal with them."
“I really enjoyed getting stuck into lab work and practicals. We did dissections and looked at microbiology, using the microscope, working with antibiotics and how to relate that all back to the horse."
"I loved the equine side of Hartpury, the facilities are really good, keeping your horse there is great, and I am also on the academy so that has really helped me from the riding point of view."
"Hartpury has develop my confidence and social skills. I’m working towards a qualification that will give me the flexibility to go into the world of work or carry on with my education at university."
