Testimonials
"The agriculture course gave me such as being a part of the show team gave me the confidence and networking links that have been extremely beneficial later on in my career. "

"I completed my L2 and L3 in Equine management at Rodbaston, and had amazing support from the staff and learning support assistant. Whilst I’ve been studying at Uni, I’ve often worked at dressage and show jumping events at Rodbaston which i really enjoy."
