BHS Stage 1, 2 and Stage 2 Teach
At Berkshire Riding Centre, we are proud to be a BHS Where to Train Centre, offering a comprehensive pathway for riders and aspiring professionals to progress through the British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications. Whether you’re just starting out or working toward your coaching credentials, our experienced instructors and supportive environment will help you succeed.
BHS Stage 1 – Progressive Riding Test
Every rider’s journey is unique, and the BHS Progressive Riding Tests offer a flexible, personalised route to achieving Stage 1 equivalency at your own pace. This programme is ideal for:
- Horse owners looking to formalise their knowledge
- Riding school clients ready to take the next step
- Aspiring professionals beginning their BHS qualification journey
The tests cover both stable management and riding, and successful completion provides direct entry to the BHS Stage 2 assessment. Training is available on a bespoke basis through private lessons with our experienced instructors.
The programme consists of six individual tests covering both stable management and riding skills. Once all six are successfully completed, you’ll receive a BHS certificate and gain direct entry to the BHS Stage 2 assessment.
To take part, you must be 13 years or older and hold BHS membership.
