The  Learning Wild course at Wicken Fen provides an incredible opportunity to  look inside the lives of over 100 feral horses as they live alongside human  visitors in this gorgeous nature reserve. With the support and  assistance of the Konik management team at Wicken Fen, we’ll explore the  rich history of the herd, the individuals that make up the social  groups at Wicken, and get an exclusive look inside the lives of the  horses that live there.   2025 Dates TBD

Come and spend 4 days exploring the ancient Skyrian Horse in it's native habitat on the beautiful island of Skyros in Greece!  Skyrian horses are a rare breed and this course explores the history and culture surrounding this ancient breed and current efforts to protect both the breed and the land.  Days focus on the horses, culture, the island, and exploring new ways to use this knowledge to improve well-being of all free-living and domestic equines.
