Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

The Enterprise Unit

Running a horse business is taught as its own subject.

Events Pay Bills

Organising and managing an event is covered end to end.

Breeding As A Business Line

Stud arrivals, pregnancy and newborn care are included.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

The course points at businesses rather than jobs. Trail riding, pony club work, breeding and training operations all sit within reach of the two modules.

Trail Riding Operation

Run rides for the public.

Pony Club Support

Organise and run club events.

Breeding Enterprise

Manage the stud season and foals.

Training Business

Take horses in for schooling.

Business paths where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. Every venture is different, and many need insurance, a licence, capital or years around horses.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Is this nationally recognised training?

You get a provider certificate and a transcript at the end. It is not nationally recognised training, so it carries no national code. An advisor can point you at accredited equine options.

What do I get at the end?

A Certificate of Completion, a Certificate of Attainment and a transcript.

What does it cost each week?

From $35 a week, depending on the plan you qualify for.

How long does it take?

Access runs 12 months with no set deadlines.

Do I need horse experience first?

It is written for people who already have a strong background in horse care. Start with a broader horse course if you are newer than that.

Does it cover insurance and registration?

The enterprise unit covers running the operation. Insurance and registration rules are worth checking with your own adviser and your state.

A computer and reliable internet. A device can be lent if you need one.

Can I enrol if I am under 18?

Yes, after the provider speaks with your guardian.
