Local to me is a college which offers a two year equine course. A friends daughter is intending to go. It’s a mix of ‘animal management’ and basic riding. While tacking up at the weekend, I asked mum what her daughter intended to do after being at college and she had no idea. I know so many young girls who have attended this course over the years and they still end up as a groom and have to work their way up. Unless they are seriously talented at riding and schooling. In fact many left the course and found they couldn’t even find a decent job. Just mucking out positions. I wondered how many of us on here work within the equine industry but didn’t attend a course. Is it necessary? I told the girl she’d be better off getting a ‘proper’ job and then have the money to run her own horse. 😀.
