Equine Education – Has The Answer!
If you’re interested in improving your knowledge and horsemanship skills, Equine Education’s online courses, set up by Dr Jo-Anne Murray and Dr Peter Hastie, might be for you.
Jo-Anne, a British Horse Society Intermediate Instructor, gaineda PhD in equine nutrition before setting up the first and only online Equine Science masters’ programme at the School of Veterinary Studies at the University of Edinburgh.

programme. Equine Education allows the participants to fit their studying in around their busy schedules, which includes their horses!”
