"This course has been really interesting and has given me so much more confidence in looking after my own horse. I loved the format of the course and the freedom to study at my own pace. I look forward to carrying on my studies with equine distance learning."

"I have done three courses with Equine Distance Learning over the past three years and I find the courses brilliant, as they are very informative and easy to read. They have taught me lots and I can't wait to put what I have learnt into practice. I'm hoping that next year I will be able to do my Level Three Horse Care and knowledge course."
