We regularly run courses in preparation for different BHS examinations and for topics of interest including mock exam days.

The next course dates are detailed below. Details will also appear on the BHS website.

BHS Stage 1 Care and Ride

We deliver training toward your BHS Stage 1, however we do not run the exam. We believe the Progressive Riding Tests (PRT) offer a more flexible and effective format for this level.

BHS Progressive Riding Tests

The BHS Progressive Riding Tests provides BHS Stage 1 equivalency and is an excellent way of achieving Stage 1 in your own time and at hour own pace. Successful completion of the BHS Progressive Riding Tests gives direct entry to the Stage 2 exam.

The Progressive Riding Tests cover stable management and riding of horses and it consists of six tests. Candidates must be aged 13 and above and have BHS membership. We welcome horse owners, riding school customers and anyone wishing to start off their BHS professional qualifications.

The BHS Progressive Riding tests can only delivered through a BHS Approved Riding Centre can be organised at any time on a bespoke basis. It comprises six sections and a BHS certificate is awarded at the end.

We currently have no courses scheduled for the Progressive Riding Test, however you can complete this individually with private stable management lessons with one of our instructors. If you want to know more please call the office on 01344 884992.
