In addition to classroom instruction, students will be involved in practical and hands-on experiences, with the opportunity to discover equestrianism 'British' style, and experience both classical and English-style riding skills. Also included is an educational program of visits to several of the main cultural sites of Scotland and the internationally recognized Royal Highland Show.
