"I chose Equine Distance Learning due to the variety of courses they offered. I completed and passed Horse Knowledge Part 1 and 2 and the BHS Challenge Award in Horse Health. The courses are extremely enjoyable and packed full of everything you need to know. They are great for everyone. The videos, fact sheets are brilliant, I learnt so much. The instructors and staff are so helpful and encouraging I would definitely recommend them. My only dilemma now is which course do to next!"
