Where to Train Centres
All BHS Approved Riding Establishments listed are regularly inspected to ensure they meet high standards of safety, horse welfare and tuition – Where to Train establishments undergo an additional, more rigorous inspection. This makes sure that their instructors can train students to the standard that the centre is recognised for, and that horses at the centre are trained to a suitable standard for the work required of candidates at that level.
Instructors at Where to Train establishments must be registered and are required to stay up to date with current standards by attending seminars and conferences. They must also be qualified to the level above that to which the centre is approved to train, for example, a centre approved to train to BHSAI must employ at least one registered BHSII instructor.
It is not obligatory for BHS Exam candidates to receive their training at BHS Approved Centres. However, it is certainly advisable to train at a centre that understands the requirements of each level and has qualified instructors and suitable horses. This will ensure that training is of the highest calibre.
