What gcse do you need for horse riding?

"Horse riding" isn't actually a career, you can go horse riding with no qualifications, and, if you are particularly good, can become a competing (and earning) rider, by gaining sponsorship with your demonstrations of enthusiam and skill. However, this is not a reality for most of us, and there are many careers within the equine industry: for example (non exhaustive list) groom to competing rider yard worker or stablehand equine event manager equine business manager equine journalism equine veterinary healthcare equine dentistry, farriery. there are thousands more, but the first two are probably the easiest to enterr with little qualification, but are of ten low paid.. For something a little higher paid, it is a good idea to gain some qualifications. at least GCSEs usually at grade C and above will be sufficient to get you pretty much anyhjting depending on what subjects you want to do. At GCSE level, it doesn't matter too much what you take to be honest, I want to work with horses, so I did Science at GCSE for the biological side of it, and now am completing Al levels Art French Biology and English, none of which are horsey, but I hope to use them to enter an equine degree of some description. If you are not very academic, taking a more vocational course after gcse such as a Btec in animal management or horse and land management, or even the broad business managwement may be a better route for you, leaving you with at least some recognition for youyr equine skill, and good footing in the big wide world.
