Overview

You'll build a strong foundation in performance optimisation while gaining extensive hands-on experience coaching riders across all levels.

Key facts

During your degree, you’ll develop your understanding of contemporary ethical approaches to horse training and coaching to benefit the horse, human and the environment, based on the most up-to-date scientific research, applying theory to practice in real-world settings including our rider performance centre and commercial equine yard that’s home to 230 horses and riders of all levels.

You'll develop a personal coaching philosophy grounded in reflection upon both practice and ‘self’, tailored to the needs of the equestrian athlete. You'll be optimally placed to positively influence the equine industry as equestrian coaches, with a solid underpinning in coaching theory which they can practically apply to a range of coaching scenarios.

By graduation, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge, practical skills, and industry insight to lead the way in modern equestrian coaching, shaping the future of horse-rider partnerships from grassroots to elite.

You can use all of this to evidence your coaching expertise, experience and coaching philosophy to employers when you graduate.
