Starting to Ride

Horse riding has become an increasingly popular pastime in recent years. The British Horse Society positively encourages people of all ages to have a go at what can be a really rewarding and exciting sport. However, finding somewhere to ride, especially for the first time, can be a bit daunting. At the BHS we’re here to help you find somewhere to learn safely and effectively where you can be sure that all necessary standards have been met.

Each of the establishments on our Approved list has been inspected by a highly experienced representative of The British Horse Society, who will have looked carefully at the level of instruction available to clients, the on-site facilities and equipment, and the standards of safety, horse care and management.

“The scheme includes more than 600 riding establishments across the UK and Ireland, so you are certainly not short of choice!”
