So where do you start? The golden rule is to make sure you select a riding school that belongs to either the Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) or the British Horse Society (BHS) - or, better still, both. Any riding school approved by one or both of these organisations is your guarantee that they meet the high standards required by these two organisations. It means they are inspected every year and so any approval should be current, and both the ABRS and BHS set riding instruction examinations at different levels. This means that even the lowest level of qualified instructor is competent to teach basic riding skills to a beginner or novice. To obtain details of riding schools in your area, log on to the ABRS website (http://www.abrs-info.org). The ABRS, based in Cornwall, is the only organisation solely representing professional riding school properietors. The BHS (http://www.bhs.org.uk) is Britain's largest and most influential equestrian charity with 350 affiliated clubs, rescue centres and organisations. It was founded in 1947, when the Institute of the Horse and Pony Club and the National Horse Association of Great Britain were amalgamated. |
