About Equine Qualifications UK CIC

At EQUK, we’re all about making equine education easier to find and access. No matter who you are or where you’re starting from, we believe everyone deserves an equal opportunity to build a career in the equestrian world. Whether you dream of working with horses, advocating for better industry standards, or simply learning how to care for the animals you love, we’ll find an opportunity for you.

We know the equestrian industry can feel a bit exclusive, and finding the right training or educational course isn’t always straightforward. That’s why we’re here – to connect you with the opportunities that fit your needs, help you gain valuable skills, and support you every step of the way.

We aren’t just boosting education; we’re breaking down barriers. By making equine learning opportunities accessible to all, we’re helping to create a more welcoming, inclusive, and resilient equine community – one where everyone has the chance to grow personally and professionally.

Many people in the equine industry are self-employed, so having the right skills to start or run a business is essential. We’re here to help equestrian staff grow their careers – whether they are just starting out, stepping into leadership roles or using their skills in new sectors. With so much hands-on experience, many equine professionals have valuable knowledge that goes beyond the stable yard, and we’re also here to make that transition as smooth as possible. 

We hope to encourage a new generation of educated equestrian staff who will bring fresh ideas and best practices to the industry, improving horse welfare and workplace standards. We also want to tackle burnout in equine professionals, industry staff shortages, problematic systemic cycles, and business diversification – helping to shape a stronger, more sustainable future for everyone in the equestrian community.
