BHS Training and Courses
Ride Safe
Ride Safe training is available with a BHSII coach. The course is available through the summer months, April to September on a Friday evening 5-7pm. The course runs over 4 consecutive evenings with an assessment on conclusion. If you are successful, you will be awarded the Silver Challenge award.
Over the 4 weeks, you will systematically cover the syllabus and requirements of the award delivered through theory and practical sessions, including riding out on the road. Please follow the link for the Ride Safe syllabus.
Having completed your stage 1 and ride safe you will be able to join our stage 2 training.
Please contact our office for dates available.
Challenge Awards
Our instructors can deliver BHS challenge awards. These awards are designed for equestrians wanting to learn and gain a deeper understanding of horse care, lunging and riding skills.
Stage 1 and Ride safe are the first steps on the assessment ladder. Once achieved you will be able to train, alongside industry experience, to achieve stage 2, stage 2 coach, stage 3 and stage 3 coach. Then having trained and gained valuable experience in the industry you will be able to achieve your stage 4 and stage 4 coach.
