Overview

The Equine Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation (Hons) degree from Anglia Ruskin University focuses on the structure and function of the horse, relating that to how horses move and how natural gait may change when areas of tension are seen in the musculature.

Key Features

It also explores how a team of professionals – including veterinarians, farriers, saddle fitters, dentists and trainers – can work together to enhance and optimise horses' wellbeing, body balance and performance.

As a student at ARU in Writtle you’ll be based in the Equine Training and Development Centre, which offers extensive facilities including a working stable yard, riding arenas and an equine therapy barn.

There are around 70 horses on campus, and you’re able to bring your own horse to university too: find out more about the DIY Livery Yard.

The course is accredited by the Animal Health Professions' Register (AHPR), and prepares you to provide health services that protect animal welfare, as well as the interests of owners and referring professionals, such as veterinary surgeons.
