HARTPURY_COLLEGE_PROSPECTUS_2023

As a Hartpury student, you'll benefit from world-class facilities to enhance your learning. Get hands-on during practical sessions in our international arenas, carry out training and research in our Equine and Animal Assisted Activity Area, use advanced racing and eventing simulators in our Rider Performance Centre, and learn how to treat and rehabilitate horses using high-speed and water treadmills in our equine therapy and hydrotherapy centres. You’ll use these as part of your learning and could volunteer with our specialist teams to gain industry experience around your studies, ready for your career. You’ll learn through a mix of theory and practical sessions. Our lecturers will share their knowledge of the equine industry – from eventing, showjumping, and dressage to thoroughbred and stud work. You’ll get hands-on with horses on the yard in practical sessions and learn about horse care. We have excellent industry links and can offer some exciting field trips and work experience. Our students have worked in top yards with Vittoria Panizzon, Carl Hester, and at Tweenhills Stud, and had brilliant opportunities across the globe. Develop the confidence and experience to forge a career doing what you love. Our large equine centre provides stabling for 230 horses – including livery for 150 horses – but you don't need to have your own horse to study one of our equine courses. If you love riding, join our Equestrian Club for riding opportunities (see page 78), as well as fun trips, demonstrations, and guest speakers. We host three major equine events each year. Volunteer at our NAF Five Star International Hartpury Horse Trials, NAF Five Star Hartpury Festival of Dressage or NAF Five Star Hartpury Showjumping Spectacular for special behind-the-scenes access. You’ll gain hands-on experience and see some of the biggest names in the equine world compete.
