“I love seeing the rider work with the therapists and vets to rehabilitate an injured horse. I got to see so many cases treated by therapists from Hartpury, and Three Counties Vets, while working in the Equine Therapy Centre on campus. As my tutor says, the horse and rider are a team and everyone working with that team is part of what makes a winning horse and rider partnership. Everyone must work together to get it right and it’s amazing seeing it work.”
