To make sure that you and your horse receive the best from your riding
school or livery yard, choose one approved by the British Horse Society.
BHS Approved
riding schools and BHS Approved
livery yards comply with the latest health and
safety guidelines.
These BHS Approved establishments are insured against public liability, and the welfare of horses and ponies is their main aim. British Horse Society inspectors conduct unannounced yearly inspections to ensure that standards are kept high at BHS Approved establishments.
At present, livery yards do not need to be licensed in the UK. This could mean that even basic standards are not always met. However, this is likely to change in the future. Livery Yard Licensing is currently being considered as part of the new Animal Welfare Bill.
There are more than 900 BHS Approved establishments in the UK, Ireland, Belgium, Hong Kong, Spain, Italy, Dubai, Malaysia and the USA.
