Which Pathway suits your Journey

Would you like to be a Groom
of course you would

If you would like to go down the Grooms Pathway why not try the Silver Challenge Award “About the Horse” this will provide you with entry to BHS Stage 2 Care and Stage 2 Lunge. You can work with some wonderful horses

Would you like to be a professional rider
you get to ride the boss’s show jumpers

Or show hunters

If you would like to go down the pathway of the Professional Rider the Silver Challenge Award “About the Rider” will allow you to enter the Stage 2 Ride you can then take the “Professional Rider” Pathway. Again you can work with some wonderful horses and have some wonderful opportunities

Maybe you have a longer journey in mind how about the Ride Leader pathway
Perhaps you prefer this view
an excellent way to spend summers at home or abroad or in that Gap Year


The Equine Tourism Pathway is for anyone who would like to work in the equestrian tourism industry. These are a suite of professional qualifications for you. They will take you on a journey all the way from Rider Leader to equestrian tourism Centre Manager.

The Ride Out entry requirements are Stage 1 Care Or Silver Challenge Award “About the Horse” and Stage 2 Ride or Silver Challenge Award “About the Rider”. You can add Ride Leader 2 as a bolt on if you already hold Stage 2

What about taking the Complete Horsemanship Pathway


If you achieve the Complete Silver Award = About the Horse and About the Rider you will be able to take the Stage 2 Care, Lunge and Ride which gives you Stage 2 Complete Horsemanship

If you complete Stage 2 Complete Horsemanship you can travel on to a Stage 3 Coach in Complete Horsemanship and then become an Accredited Professional Coach and your journey can take you on to become a Fellow. (I’m still travelling why not join me?)



So why not start your journey through the Challenge Awards soon
