Therapy and rehabilitation of equine performance is a rapidly growing area of the equine industry, and therefore there is a requirement for experienced and well qualified equine practitioners to complement veterinary medicine. It is now recognised by the industry that the need for alternative therapies is paramount in order to promote horse health and performance. If you are passionate about the therapy aspects of equine performance, then this is the course for you.
This innovative programme enables students to develop excellent therapeutic vocational skills as well as provide sound academic and specialist knowledge in order to promote equine performance within all fields of the equine industry. The course incorporates a range of modules designed to offer both technical expertise and practical competence in the therapy and rehabilitation of horses. Students will make full use of our state of the art equine therapy and rehabilitation centre and will be provided with the opportunity to gain first hand practical experience in the therapy and rehabilitation of horses. This programme is accredited with Animal Health Practitioner Register (AHPR) and all successful graduates will be eligible for registration as a recognised equine therapist.
This course is validated in partnership with Coventry University.
