We were delighted once again to host the Animal Fire & Rescue Team. The horses helped them learn about safely approaching, catching and leading horses from one area to another.
These are the people who we may have to rely on if our horses are ever in a dangerous situation.

A successful and fun afternoon with the Animal Fire & Rescue team.
Many of them have never met horses before and so it's crucial that they know how to approach, halter and handle them. We hope none of us will ever need their assistance, but it's great to know our horses have helped prepare them😊

A huge credit and recognition of the programme Harriet Laurie, founder of TheHorseCourse has created.
This gives our referrers confidence in the level of expertise and quality of work our facilitators deliver.

The Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA) is very pleased to announce that following a review of the TheHorseCourse’s bespoke evidence-based staff training programme, this training programme is now recognised by the Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA).

This is a very strong statement about the quality and rigour employed in that programme and the assessment of learners.

This is the first approval of such a training programme granted by the Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA) and it means that those successfully completing the training can also apply for membership of the Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA).

This is an exciting development and represents a clear reflection on the Accredited Practitioner Register’s (PSA) commitment to providing access to the Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA) across the market. We look forward to working with TheHorseCourse and welcoming appropriately qualified individual practitioners to the Accredited Practitioner Register (PSA).
