Animal Care Courses

Together with the Fettercairn Youth Horse Project (http://fyhp.ie/horse-riding-lessons/welcome/) we hope to achieve greater welfare for our domestic animals.

The FYHP is a community based horse riding centre in Fettercairn Tallaght & has been in operation since 1996 and has a 20 stable facility and outdoor arena.

The courses are designed to help those who want to make their pets’ lives better or for those curious about moving into an animal related career but just want a taster without committing full time & big money.

The core species covered in each module will be horses, dogs, cats & small mammals such as mice & rabbits. I will encourage discussion & participation from all students to create a fun learning environment.

The content of the part time course is:

- Health
- Behaviour
- Housing
- Handling
- Welfare
- Enrichment
- Equipment
- Hygiene & Cleaning Practices
- Socialization
