Course Summary
Do you love going out on trail rides and would you love to be paid while doing it?
The Trail Ride Leader qualification is a recognised professional that gives you the ability to take people out on trail rides professionally. You get the best of both worlds, trail riding and being paid while you do it.
There is some flexibility within these units. If you would like to complete different units within your Trail Ride Leader course then please talk to us.
We may have your required units within another one of our courses, and can easily offer you a change of units within your course.
You should have extensive previous experience trail riding and be over 18 years of age to commence this course.
If you do not meet these pre-requisites, please look at our Horse Riding Instructor course. The Horse Riding Instructor is a full certificate course and is delivered over a longer period of time which will allow you to establish the knowledge and skills required to become a qualified Horse Riding Instructor so you can build on these knowledge and skills to become a trail ride leader.
On successful completion of the ‘Trail Ride Leader’ course, you will receive a Statement of Attainment with the above units from the AHC32816 Cert III in Rural Operations course.
We want you to be qualified in the latest, most up to date courses. If the Training Package changes while you are enrolled then we will do our best to change your course into the new Training Package as early as possible.
Also, we monitor the latest demands of the horse industry and we continually update our courses to meet these demands and to give you the best course possible.


How Long Will My Course Take?
As you should already have extensive previous experience, this course should be completed in a very short period of time. It is not Centrelink approved, and the theory could be completed in under a week.
However, if you are attending any five-day workshops at Caboolture, Queensland to have the practical components of this course assessed, it is strongly recommended that you complete the theory prior to attending.
Sometimes life gets in the way and you may not complete this course as quickly as you think so we will keep your student portal open to give you access to your course for up to one year. If you need longer then please let us know.
What Part of the Course is Delivered Online?
All theory lessons are delivered online through your secure web portal with a range of resources such as

Will this Course be Recognised in My Country ?
Our distance learning equine studies all work within the Australian Training Qualifications Framework (AQTF).
We provide a Pathway from High School through our Certificate and Diploma courses that give recognised credit into University courses.
These distance learning equine courses are registered in Australia, but because they are taught by distance education, students can access them around the world and still receive their educational qualifications.
Most countries recognise qualifications delivered and accredited by Registered Training Organisations in Australia. They are often held in higher regard to qualifications issued in their own country!
If your country has equestrian and equine qualifications, they may be able to grant RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning) into their qualifications from your studies at International Horse College.

Our Happy Students
“As a horse lover, owner/rider and pony club instructor I have been using the online course Cert II in Business (Working with Horses) for the last two years with 3 high school students. I have found the course interesting and engaging and all three girls have completed the course and gained their accreditation. Personally I enjoy getting the emails that Glenys sends out as they always contain so much good down to earth information and always on varying topics. The content has never failed to resonate with my own years of experience and personal feelings for the horse. I keep them all in a special file and revisit when I want a boost. Well done Glenys and the team.”
