Harpurty College Prospectus

As a Hartpury student, you'll benefit from world-class facilities to enhance your learning. These include international arenas, a Rider Performance Centre – home to advanced racing and eventing simulators – and a commercial Equine Therapy Centre. 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 though 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 – 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. You’ll get to take part in trips, demonstrations, competitions, riding lessons and to hear from notable guest speakers. We host three major equine events each year. Volunteer at our International Hartpury Horse Trials, Festival of Dressage or 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.

We're the world's largest equine college
