Many new horse owners are not sure how to care for a horse and the main points as well as a few horse care tips are listed below. This article may not teach you how to take care of horses who live in a stable completely but it will certainly point you in the right directions for your equine care. Taking Care of Horses Twice Daily Horses kept in a stabled environment will need attending to at least twice a day. This is because they are confined to a small area, with no access to grazing and no opportunities to self exercise.

Horse Lover Says Interesting and Engaging
"As a horse lover, owner/rider and pony club instructor I have been using the online course Cert II in Business (Working with Horses) for the last two years with 3 high school students.
I have found the course interesting and engaging and all three girls have completed the course and gained their accreditation.
Personally I enjoy getting the emails that Glenys sends out as they always contain so much good down to earth information and always on varying topics.
The content has never failed to resonate with my own years of experience and personal feelings for the horse.
I keep them all in a special file and revisit them when I want a boost.
Well done Glenys and the team at Online Horse College."

“I was never at all hesitant about enrolling in the course. The price was excellent and the fact that I could take longer or less time to complete the course was great, and that it is all online is wonderful!
The videos and power points are brilliant and the idea of a quiz helps to take the pressure off too. There so far isn’t anything about this that I don’t love.”

“I made my final decision to enrol based on your help throughout the enquiry process, I felt as if you went above and beyond to assist me in enrolling in the right course which was suitable to my needs and giving RPL where recognised to help reduce fee costs, so to me it did not feel like a money hungry approach which I really appreciate.”
Jess L ‘Specialised Horse Riding Instructor’ student
“I wanted to have some sort of qualifications in the horse industry as I plan to work with horses in a future career, and thought ”Why not start now?” . . .
I would recommend the course to anyone who wants to gain a career or more knowledge in the horse industry”
