My DD is16 and is enrolled at a local college on an equine course to start in September. She will attend about 16 hours per week, and get the usual school / college holidays. There's a free bus from the end of our street, the option of renting a room and experiencing college life. There's a lot of classroom based work, and if she doesn't achieve high enough grades will start on the lower level, which starts with 'how to put on a headcollar' etc. She's not at all academic, but a good experienced horse woman..
She is a PC member and spends all her free time at the associated stables, which she totally loves. Its a great, well run and professional place. I have just discovered that its also a registered college. It would be 40 hours a week, its out in the sticks with few buses, no classroom work, but I'm told that the hands on experience in a riding school will be invaluable when it comes to getting a job.
