This course is designed to introduce current and future horse owners to contemporary thought on equine psychology. Over four units, students will cover everything from environment to attitudes, allowing them to gain insight into how horses think, learn and behave.
You’ll receive your first unit as soon as you enrol, so you can start whenever you want, and progress through the course at your own pace, studying when and where you choose.
There are no prerequisites for this course. We classify our courses by level to guide students towards the best course based on their experience. However, we strongly believe open study should be just that. If you’re open to challenging yourself, our tutors will be on hand to help.

to ask questions, for advice, encouragement or to draw on their wealth of knowledge.
