"I started with a short course and became addicted to learning more, the layout is perfect for someone who has not studied since leaving school, this being the case lead me on to completing many courses with Equine Distance Learning, each and every one coached by Sarah & Kerry. Completing and passing these courses gave me the confidence to sit BHS Stage 1 Ride and Care and Ride Safe - all of which I have passed. Using my knowledge I have gained from Equine Distance Learning I now am working toward my BHS Stage 2 Ride, Care, Lunge and Teach qualification. Didn’t think I could - but I have !!! Many thanks to Equine Distance Learning for everything !!! Highly recommend every course!"

"Hi my name is Freda and I live in Saudi Arabia.

I have just completed my BHS Level one exam with Equine Distance Learning and passed. I didn’t think going back to studying would have been for me but it’s been the best thing I have ever done. The course is put together in such a manner that you feel supported all the way through. It really is a very informative way to learn more about horses and it also covers all aspects of horse care. I can’t wait to start my next course.
Thank you to all at Equine Distance Learning."

“The course material is excellent. It is a sound grounding for the next stage of my plan which is when I retire – three more years – I will have a qualification to work with horses. Without EDL I would not have been able to achieve this goal. Kerry and Sarah make me feel encouraged when I think what I’m doing is impossible – I now feel it isn’t and I will get that BHS stage one – maybe next year.“

Judith, November 2016
