At
XLEquine
we are committed to providing you with up-to-date
practical training to enable you to grow your equine knowledge
and skills through our EquineSkills workshops. We are very
proud that the Association of British Riding Schools endorses
all of our workshops.
What are EquineSkills
workshops?
EquineSkills workshops are small group
training courses that are led in a friendly
and informal environment. Each workshop
within the EquineSkills programme has
been designed to be practical and
interactive to ensure a fun learning
environment and to fulfil the objective
of attendees gaining new useable skills.
Who teaches the workshops?
Uniquely, our large team of equine vets and
nurses deliver all of our workshops; so you
have the peace of mind that the knowledge
you will receive is current and from a
reliable, trusted source. All of our trainers
have also undertaken an accredited training
course themselves to ensure that the level
of training delivered is consistently high.
Who are EquineSkills workshops
aimed at?
The simple answer is - you! There is
something for everyone within the
EquineSkills training programme.
EquineSkills workshops cater for all levels
of horse ownership or knowledge level,
from new horse owners to experienced
riders, coaches and equine
paraprofessionals. Our trainers are
experienced in teaching delegates of
different knowledge levels and tailor
workshops accordingly. If you love horses
and want to increase your practical skills
and knowledge, then EquineSkills
workshops are for you!
What workshops are available?
Currently, we have six EquineSkills
workshops available, a combination of
half and full day workshops. All delegates
will receive a comprehensive workbook
to take home, to consolidate new
knowledge and skills learned, as well as
a certificate of attendance.
