Foundation Year (Equine) Certification Exam

Foundation Year (Equine) Entry into equine studies assumes comfort with basic animal husbandry fundamentals and practical stable management. Most programs expect familiarity with horse behavior, grooming techniques, and routine health checks before you begin. Strong foundational knowledge of anatomy helps considerably, though instructors often review core concepts. Physical fitness matters—expect hands-on work involving lifting, mucking, and handling animals weighing half a ton.
