Course overview

This is a two year course offered to 14-16 year olds as a one day release from school

During this first year of the Flexible Learning Programme (FLP) the students will learn how to ride a quiet racehorse, change hands and ride a canter in pose position. They will have lectures and practical lessons about most aspects in horse care.

In the second year the students return and will continue to work towards their Level 1 Diploma in racehorse care. They will ride an ex-racehorse on the 7 furlong straight canter, have practical lessons and lectures in all aspects of looking after a racehorse. The modules assessed range from preparing horses for exercise (both ridden and non-ridden) and examining the health and wellbeing of a horse.
