Course details

World Horse Welfare carries out training programmes in communities around the world. Our experts in farriery, saddlery, nutrition and business skills develop courses to address the needs of working horses, which differ according to country.

 

Made up of a number of modules, our programmes train 20 students every year in their chosen discipline. Through a combination of practical and theoretical elements, our students gain the knowledge required to use their new-found skills successfully.

 

Our most advanced students have the opportunity to become assistant instructors on future training courses. This offers great benefits, because these individuals speak the local dialect and can empathise with local issues.

 

Upon completion of each five-year programme, we aim to have trained 50 saddlers and 50 farriers, who will be able to offer their services to horseowners within their communities. Our assistant instructors will continue to teach good practice after we leave the project country, meaning that knowledge is shared and improved.
