Yesterday our Level 5 FdSc Equine Studies students who are studying Breeding and Stud Management, were lucky enough to have Carl Holliman, director of Cliffe Equine Vets, come to Plumpton College to give a guest lecture on breed soundness examinations. The video shows Carl using an ultrasound machine on one of our sport horse 'Cleo', assessing the condition of her ovaries and viability for breeding.

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Last Friday our final year Level 3 Diploma in Equine Management students had a fabulous trip to Rebecca DugglebyŌĆÖs yard Baldwins Equestrian Rehabilitation & Rider Fitness. The students learnt about some of the rehab tools Rebecca uses, they had a chance to long rein one of the case horses and then Rebecca talked them through a step by step rehab programme for various injuries. All in the beautiful setting of her yard!

Last week our FdSc Equine Science and Coaching students, who are studying business management, were lucky enough to have a guest lecture from James Wilson. James is the Vice Principle of Sales and Marketing for Ariat. The talk was extremely informative and gave the students a great understanding of the retail industry, branding and marketing techniques!
