COURT EQUESTRIAN
SHORT COURSE DETAILS - APRIL 2021
Court Equestrian (an outreach teaching centre for Abingdon and Witney College) is running another City & Guilds level 2 extended certificate short course starting towards the end of April for adults.
There are two options:
Riding – this is good for those that can walk, trot and canter but want to improve their technique as well as learning more about lunging and grooming techniques.
Horse care – good for those that might want a horse in the future and so want to learn about keeping horses. Also good for riders who want to gain confidence in handling and being around the horses. The topics include tack and fitting of tack, grooming, horse handling, keeping horses and lunging. This course does not involve riding.
Parents, Carers + Partners
The theory course is a great way to keep up with your children/partners
and to understand what is involved in their riding
and why they enjoy it so much.
The course involves practical work and theory.
The theory part includes making posters/leaflets for each topic to show the knowledge gained along with some short answer questions.
The course involves 7 sessions and there is a fee to pay at the start of the course direct to Abingdon and Witney College of £119. If you earn under £16,500 a year then this can be waivered.
If you are interested or have any further questions then please get in touch via email to info@courtequestrian.co.uk or becky@courtequestrian.co.uk
