Individuals intending to take up study often ask me which courses I
recommend. Well, there is a good selection of courses to choose from.
Personally when I began in the industry I enrolled in a part-time certificate in
equine management course. It's a good way to gain a general overview of the
industry, but offers only minimal career opportunities for graduates. The
bachelor of equine science and thoroughbred management courses offer a
more in-depth look at specific learning areas. Horse riding theory, grooming
and saddling are covered as well as the more scientific areas such as the
history and
characteristics
of breeds, my current area of research as well as
such topics as anatomy and safety in horse handling. From this degree,
students can choose to undertake postgraduate studies.
By far
, the two most
common employment areas for university graduates within the equine industry
is
equitation
, which is by definition the act or art of riding a horse and horse
training and management which involves such diverse activities as instruction
stable upkeep and horse show entries.
For those of you looking for long-term secure employment within the industry, I
recommend undertaking some kind of educational coursework. These days
just to be a stable hand, job seekers are presenting with college
certificates
which are increasingly becoming the minimum level of education. Working in
racehorse stud management, grassland management and equine exercise
and nutrition requires a bachelor of science and no longer will the bachelor's
degree suffice
