No I'm not, but it sounds interesting. Which university/college are you studying with?

the open college of equine studies

I really wanted to do this plus the honours top up, but working full time as well I worked out it would take me a whole five years and cost over £6000 :( In the end I couldn't justify it as I had no clear career goal at the end of it - it would have been for interest really.
So I'm really jealous that you're doing it! Maybe in a few months time you could post and let us know how it's going and if the materials are as good as they say and so on? It sounded a fantastic course from the online info.
Maybe by then I'll have won the lottery, quit work and be ready to start studying :p
PS Are you worried about the dissection bits in the study weeks?? I'm not too squeamish but it made me stop and think!

I am doing a foundation degree in equine studies at the moment but am hoping to top up to a BA Equine Studies.

Would be good to keep in touch with other distance learning people, it can be a bit lonley sometimes. Although I am with equi study and they send you a list of other students on your course with their emails so that you can keep in touch with other students.

I did like the look of the toces course but equi study was closer to my home so the study weeks were easier to attend.
