This is a fantastic opportunity for students to get involved in, if they have an interest in working with horses OR are seeking career inspiration. Also we welcome student’s parents/guardians, school tutors, and yourself to get involved too.
Virtual Open Mornings at the National Horseracing College
Enjoy a behind the scenes tour of the National Horseracing College to see our facilities and a typical morning routine for Foundation Course learners, as well as meet the team, horses, and current learners to find out what life is like at NHC! There will be time to ask questions throughout the tour too.
Although we would prefer to meet you face-to-face, the virtual events are a great opportunity to experience the National Horseracing College and the training on offer from the comfort of your students own home, or while in school.

The Foundation Course is our most popular, yet we have other pathways such as our Doncaster Equine College (non-residential), and our 14-16 year old programme that allows students to start working towards their Diploma while in education.
Here’s a few things you may not know about the popular 12-week Residential Foundation Course:
- Courses start every 6-weeks
- The course is open for anyone aged 16 or over (we have a 14-16 year old programme if they wish to start at an earlier age)
- There are no academic qualifications or previous equestrian experience required
- The cost of the course is £350 (accommodation and subsistence included), and bursaries are available upon request
- Riding and non-riding option available
- Learners can be in full-time employment in just 18-weeks
- Many careers opportunities are available in the horseracing industry
- The horseracing is the only discipline within the equestrian industry with regulated pay
