Introduction

This course centers on the athletic performance of the horse and rider, preparing students for a career in equestrian performance, coaching or team performance management.

This programme has been developed with extensive industry input to ensure that the graduates will have the necessary combination of knowledge, skills, and experience to be able to contribute to the success and growth of the equestrian performance industry.

The course focuses on the underlying factors which affect performance, adopts quantitative methods to assess performance and then evaluates a range of techniques to enhance performance and assess the impact of external factors on success.

The College Gym

At Reaseheath College we have a state-of-the-art gym facility with equipment that is used in top quality facilities throughout the UK.

The gym is fully equipped to suit the requirements of all gym users, with top specification machines, an Olympic barbell, and weight areas. These are supplied by Technogym, a leading gym manufacturer.

Through the ‘My Wellness’ Technogym account you can use your Smartphone to create a workout and keep up to date with your progress. You can add exercises and change intensities to increase your performance. You can even challenge friends using the app to climb friend rankings.

As an Equine Science and Sports Performance degree student, some of your sessions will be taught in the college gym.

You can find out more about the gym, including the facilities, here.
