Overview

The Equine Science Essentials course provides a foundational yet thorough exploration of equine health, behaviour, and care, making it ideal for aspiring equine professionals or horse enthusiasts seeking structured knowledge. Rooted in scientific principles and UK equine industry practices, this course delivers up-to-date insights into horse physiology, wellness, and management techniques.

You’ll begin by exploring the historical role of horses in the UK and the growing importance of equine science in modern veterinary and sporting contexts. Building on this, the course covers in-depth anatomy and physiology, including detailed studies of the musculoskeletal, digestive, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems—critical for understanding horse performance and wellbeing.

Nutrition is a key component of the course, equipping learners with knowledge on forage types, balanced feeding practices, and specific dietary needs for foals, adults, seniors, and performance horses. Health and wellness are addressed through preventive care, disease management, parasite control, and equine first aid—preparing you for real-world scenarios in stable or veterinary settings.

Learners will also delve into breeding and reproduction, from the science of genetics to the practical aspects of foaling and neonatal care. The course includes modules on horse behaviour and training methods, with emphasis on humane approaches that foster trust and responsiveness.

Beyond care and handling, the course introduces students to various equestrian sports popular in the UK, career pathways in the equine sector, and ethical and legal responsibilities, including welfare legislation and professional conduct. Finally, the course looks ahead at trends and innovations such as wearable tech for horses, genetic testing, and sustainability in horse care—ensuring graduates are future-ready.

Whether you're looking to enhance your career, start your own stable, or care for your own horses with expert precision, this course delivers the essential knowledge and skills to succeed.

This course is ideal for aspiring equine professionals, horse owners, riding instructors, veterinary assistants, or anyone passionate about the health and science of horses, particularly within the UK context.
No prior qualifications are required, but a basic understanding of animal care and a strong interest in equine health and management will enhance your learning experience.
Graduates can pursue roles as equine care assistants, stable managers, equine veterinary technicians, equine nutrition consultants, or trainers. This course also lays the groundwork for further study in veterinary nursing, equine therapy, and equine sports science.
