IN its 50th year of training students for the equine industry, Grennan Equestrian welcomed the Minister for Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science, James Lawless TD, to turn the sod on a new purpose-built facility, which will enhance specialist horsemanship training in Thomastown, Co Kilkenny.

With a long-established reputation for horsemanship education, the campus offers Level 5 and Level 6 (Green Cert approved) courses designed for people who want to develop their practical skills, expand their knowledge and take the next step towards a career working with horses.
