On our Equestrian Science and Performance Management degree courses – from undergraduate to postgraduate – we combine professional teaching in our BHS-approved Avansce-accredited Demonstration and Training Equine Centre with expert staff and cutting-edge teaching resources such as the newly opened Sir Mark Todd Rider Performance Studio .
The University Centre Sparsholt team are all BHS qualified and Avansce-accredited and bring their extensive industry experience. The Centre has hosted equine leaders such as the Australian Paralympic Equestrian Team for their London 2012 pre-Olympic Games training, research by world-famous equestrian expert Monty Roberts and clinics/demonstrations with World Performance Coaches Trainers and Riders such as Yogi Breisner FBHS, Vittoria Panizzon, etc.
Students are encouraged and supported to undertake their own industry-relevant research, and our staff and students present their research at industry conferences and events.
