What Students Say

The course has been very educational and informative … worded so that it is easily read, with all the relevant information … very well put together.

- Lisa H

The course has been good. I don’t have a clear career I wish to go into with horses, as I’m currently focusing on other areas as well while I study this course but I think it has all been good and relevant.

- Lara S

I´m enjoying the format. Good information as always … Very nice to see correctly fitting hanoverian – one of the few! I found the gait info really helpful as this is what I’m working on with my youngster at the moment and it really helped to reinforce what I need to be doing.

- Amanda E

I have found that the videos are useful but i do not learn that way so i have found the power points and the notes more useful

- Wang L

I am aiming towards giving riding lessons to beginners, and one target area I have is mature-aged beginner riders. The sequences give me some good ideas on how to introduce new systems to people that haven’t been doing this all their lives.

- Belinda S

Both questions and answers are written in simple and easy to understand language and also consistent with the workbook.
