The BHS Riding and Road Safety Test is taken by over 4,000 candidates a year
and helps to educate riders in road safety in order to minimise the risk
involved when riding on the roads. Training is available to all riders from 12
years of age and the test is supported by the DETR. It is the only test that any
rider will undertake that has the potential to save not only their own life but
that of their horse as well.
It is not essential to own a horse in order
to take the test as many riding schools and centres organize them for their
pupils. Similarly, you do not have to attend a centre in order to take the test
and training. Although the published dates refer mainly to tests being held at
centres, if a group of 8 or more people can get together, many trainers and
examiners are happy, subject to a satisfactory risk assessment, to come to them.
This obviates the need for your own transport.
