First Aid Resources

  • Last reviewed: 3rd November 2025

The British Horse Society Equine Specific First Aid course is an essential course for anyone handling and riding horses, providing practical guidance on first aid procedures should you be at the scene of an accident.

BHS Accredited Professional Coaches are required to keep their first aid qualification up-to-date.

If you have renewed your First Aid please submit your certificate via our online certificate submission form.

The BHS offer training to cover England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. If you reside in the Republic of Ireland you will need to attend a First Aid Responder Course (FAR).
