Skills training

We partnered with the UK charity, World Horse Welfare (WHW), to bring in overseas trainers and tools to train students in specialist equestrian skills, namely, saddlery and farrier skills. In May 2011, we will have completed the third year of our five year training programme, where about 20 students each year are trained. These students go out to serve the local horse population and help the owners look after their horses. In addition to the saddlery and farrier course completed in May 2011, we, with the assistance of Avis and WHW, included a grooms course’ which was a great success and will be continued.
