"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."
"I got the chance to travel to Germany to groom for a top Grade 1a Canadian para dressage rider, Jody Schloss, and her horse, Inspector Rebus. It was the Canadian Para-Equestrians’ last stop of their European tour, going up against top international competitors at CPEDI 3* in Mannheim."
"Hartpury was an incredible two years of my life. The Outdoor Adventure diploma gave me the perfect start into a career in the outdoor industry and helped me secure my first job."
"It’s a great course where you meet some of the most amazing people. The teaching is done in a way which everyone can understand and help is easy to access. It also teaches a range of transferable skills that you can apply to more than the outdoors."
"I loved the course at Hartpury. I learnt so much about the outdoor industry at Hartpury, not just the practical side but also about customer service and safety."
"Everything that I learned while I was on my Outdoor Adventure course at Hartpury I have used here, and I know I’ll continue to do so."
