The Irish Field, the country's venerable and definitive weekly on international racing and breeding, has produced a supplement for school-leavers whose "interests are equine". It details the many and varied opportunities available to those seeking "an education with an equestrian bent" - from teaching to shoeing, from veterinary to riding professionally. There's a list of colleges offering degree courses in Ireland and Britain, as well as non-degree courses, and an update on the Irish national coaching scheme. There's a medical section (on veterinary surgeons and nursing, physiotherapy and chiropractice) and a close-up look at the Irish Equine Centre. Farriery and apprentices are covered too. Contact The Irish Field, 11-15 D'Olier Street, Dublin, 2 for copies. Telephone (01) 6792022 or e-mail: irish.field@irish-times.ie.
