British Dressage used Youth Employment Week, running July 6-10, to spotlight equine apprenticeships aimed at helping young people enter and progress in the industry.
The program offers nationally recognized qualifications through partners Sport Structures in England, Scottish Racing Academy in Scotland and Coleg Cambria in Wales, either in existing jobs or new roles.
Level 2 apprentice Grace Perks, who completed her Equine Groom training with a distinction, is returning for Level 3 after combining workplace learning with competition-yard experience.
British Dressage said the apprenticeships are designed to build skills, confidence and employability while encouraging more employers to hire young people across the equine sector.
