Success Stories

BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science

Dee So'oialo

Dee graduated from Hartpury with BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sports Science. She now owns her own business, Dynamic Performance Hub, a central base which offers a range of optimum performance services for both horse and rider to implement the elements required of successful equestrian athletes.

Dee's Hartpury Experience

“I remember the first time I drove up the drive at Hartpury. I hadn't ever seen anything of that scale on the equestrian side of things. There isn’t anywhere else that has the same level of facilities and expertise available.”

“I had some great lecturers; I was lucky in terms of all the people I met. There’s a real community aspect to life at Hartpury.”

“I wouldn’t have completed my degree, or set up my business as effectively, without all the support from Hartpury's ASC team. After being diagnosed with dyslexia, I had plenty of support to help me understand how I learn. It was life-changing.”

Applying theory to practice

“The course covers a range of topics. Performance psychology was so fascinating; now it’s a core part of my business.”

“Whilst volunteering with Hartpury University RFC, I realised there’s no central base for the equestrian athlete. At Dynamic Performance Hub, we support the horse and rider to achieve their goals with a holistic approach – and when they do, it’s a real buzz.”

“I’m very passionate about connecting people and helping horses and riders be the best athletes that they can be. Riding can be a lonely sport but a lot of our clients say the Hub is like a home from home.”
