"I dreamed of successfully working in the equine industry; Hartpury has been instrumental in me doing so. I was lucky enough to do work experience on Great Britain Olympic dressage rider Carl Hester’s yard. Carl and the rest of the team’s horsemanship, talent and success is, in my eyes, the pinnacle of dressage!"

Philly works on a stud farm in Germany training young horses. “My degree gave me a fundamental equine knowledge base. I received training from professionals which was invaluable in educating me as a rider. I feel privileged to have been part of the supportive Equine Academy at Hartpury.”
