“When I decided to change my career, Hartpury was the obvious choice. The lecturers are experts in their subjects and the facilities are excellent. After 30 years' as a rider and instructor, I’ve discovered a passion for improving equine welfare. My degree is preparing me to make a difference to horses and owners through research and education.”
