Course Overview

This course is for all riders, from beginners to performance, and anyone wishing to complete their Stage 1 Ride career pathway. Ride Safe is a co-requisite of the BHS Stage 1 Ride award. This course is also aimed at those wanting to learn more about road safety in order to minimise the risk involved when riding on the roads.

Spotlight

Throughout the week we have classroom-based theory lessons like stud management, horse fitness and training, equestrian teaching and business. I also ride twice a week at College; I have a lesson improving my riding technique on the flat with Gold Medallist endurance rider Jane McGuiness, and a jumping lesson.
