Today, we have more than 3,500 students, studying a range of further and higher education qualifications including animal, agriculture, equine, sports and veterinary nursing degrees. The energy and passion on campus is clear as soon as you arrive – we’re buzzing with new ideas, research and business ventures. Our students and staff are passionate about their subjects. They know each other by name and work together to change the futures of their industries.

Lecturer Profile Dr. V. Tamara Montrose Programme Manager and Principal Lecturer, Animal Behaviour and Welfare

“I teach my students to use their passion to challenge and improve current animal welfare practices. I design and publish research with them too, which gives them a great step into industry.

There’s increasing evidence that animals can feel positive and negative emotions, just like we can. My recent research has focused on novel approaches to sensory enrichment for captive animals, like the use of audio books to reduce stress in shelter dogs. My students and I have been working with local animal shelters and it’s great to see them changing the way they do things as a result.”

Tamara’s recent research on sensory enrichment is published in Applied Animal Behaviour Science, Zoo Biology and the Journal of Zoo and Aquarium Research. It was also covered by the Washington Post and the Discovery Channel.

“Nutrition is the fundamental building block of an animal’s health and wellbeing. If you get that right, the health and productivity of the animal will generally be at an optimum.

It’s great to see students putting their knowledge into practice on our dairy unit. They analyse the physical characteristics of the feed against the ruminant health of the animals eating it. The science comes together for them - they’ll carry that forward into their careers.”

Lecturer Profile Phil Watson Programme Manager Applied Agriculture

“We teach our students to find solutions to big industry challenges, such as continuing to increase food sources, but with less land and resource.

Working with students is a two-way process. We all bring new ideas to the table, testing each other’s knowledge and questioning existing practices. That’s what it’s all about, continually improving what we do. Our graduates understand real-world farming issues. They also understand how to work efficiently and optimise profit margins."

Graduate Profile George Boulton Agriculture graduate, Hartpury RFC Rugby player and farm manager

“By 2050, we're going to have another billion people on the planet and they're all going to need to eat. We've really got to think about the future of farming. A lot of farming is still done a certain way just because that's the way it's always been done. At Hartpury I discovered new ways of doing things and the importance of those ways. I took a lot of what I learnt back to my home farm, particularly on the science- side, looking at things like nutrition. We now look at exactly what we're feeding our cattle, which is really important to help improve production.”

Valegro (aka Blueberry) regularly visits our Equine Therapy Centre to use our Aquafit water treadmill with his groom, Alan Davies. He took early retirement recently but used it twice a week when preparing for big competitions. “Hartpury provides the ideal training environment for people to start their career in the industry.

Student Profile Saskya Bingei Equine Sports Science student

“I love seeing the rider work with the therapists and vets to rehabilitate an injured horse.

I get to see so many cases treated by our therapists and the Three Counties Vets while working at our Equine Therapy Centre. As my tutor says, the horse and rider are a team and everyone working with that team is part of what makes a winning horse and rider partnership. Everyone must work together to get it right and it’s amazing seeing it work.”

Lecturer Profile Jeremy Michaels Senior Equine Lecturer and Coach. Master of Education, FHEA, BHS Fellow and BHS Chief Assessor, British Dressage Judge

"I love to see that ‘light bulb’ moment, when my students suddenly feel that connection with their horse and understand what they are aiming for.

Riding a horse and getting him going well, being at one with him is very special. I’ve ridden many horses, some good and some not so good - it’s enabled me to understand every kind of horse-rider partnership. The horse is a unique animal. It’s a cliché but once he’s found his way under your skin, you never lose that passion."

“The best part of my job is being able to work with other professionals to get the best treatment as a team - working closely with the vet, the physio or the chiropracter – whoever it may be – to enhance the performance of the horse and rider.

I first found out about Hartpury when I was working for event rider Helen Ball. She had a McTimoney practicioner working on her horses and I just loved seeing the benefits he made to them. I told him I wanted to learn more about that and he told me I should check out Hartpury. Finally finding that degree is what bought me back to my passion of being able to work with both the horse and rider.”

“I’m training with Nick Gauntlet, International Event Rider and BE Accredited Master Coach. Hartpury definitely got me to where I am now. I loved that I could ride professionally and study at the same time. My lecturers were amazing – so supportive – especially in my third year when I had my dissertation to do and I was training four event horses!
