I’m in the first year of my veterinary degree, and we have to do so many weeks of ‘PCEMS’ – pre-clinical extra mural studies (I still have no idea quite what mural means in this sense… Thought it was a kind of painting but I may be wrong :p) - over the uni holidays, so many weeks of which must be equine. I think it’s three weeks minimum, but we can always do more if we want/have time. Which hopefully I will!

Anyway, I wanted to see if anyone had any recommendations as to where/who to go to for this. I’m not quite sure of the minimum requirements yet in terms of number of animals, but it’s unlikely that I’ll be able to go back to my friends as quite a few of her rides live off site :(

I’d prefer to go to somewhere that I’d be allowed to do a lot of jobs, possibly ride (even if it’s just on the youngsters or hacking out) and maybe go to a few of the events or shows if it’s a competition yard. I like hard work – hate feeling like a spare part! Not too fussed about where it is as long as they let me stay over and bring my horse, but the furthest tips of Scotland and Cornwall might be a bit far for the parents to take Wibs :cool:

So yeah, any recommendations please? Not much on offer here I’m afraid, just mini Weetabix because I really need to go shopping but it keeps raining :(


(Also if anyone in the Notts/South Yorks area knows of any pig or poultry farms nearby, please let me know! I have dairy, beef, lambing and small animals all sorted as to where I’m going, just lacking these three?)
