"If what you want to do is work with horses, then work with horses.  You shouldn’t let your disability stop you from doing that. Being at Hartpury has made me a better and stronger person – it’s shown me that I’m much more capable than I thought I was." Says - "Daniel Olley,  BSc (Hons) Equine Business Management."
