Develop your coaching skills with an immersive training day led by Rob Lovatt FBHS. This day is designed for coaches preparing for BHS Stage 3, 4, 5 or Fellowship coach assessments, as well as anyone wanting a deeper understanding of what is required at each level or looking to strengthen their coaching across multiple disciplines.

What the Day Covers

Each session provides practical, hands‑on learning and constructive feedback. You’ll work through:

  • Assessment overview for each stage
  • Evaluating horse–rider combinations
  • Coaching practice presentation
  • Coaching demonstration
  • Practical coaching session
  • Dressage coaching
  • Show jumping, arena eventing or polework

You will have the opportunity to coach two ridden sessions, receive personalised feedback, and take away clear action points to support your progression. You’ll also observe fellow coaches and take part in discussions with Rob on coaching methods, problem‑solving, and developing your own style. 

Skills records can be signed off where the required standard is demonstrated. 

Who This Day Is For

  • Coaches training for Stage 3, 4, 5 or Fellowship
