Why not train for the BHS Ride Safe award. It covers the types of roads you may choose to travel along. With tips and guidance for riding on beaches, to riding next to windfarms, negotiating hazards and how to deal with animals you may meet along the way and importantly how to deal with traffic. You will learn how to recognise road signs, how to give clear hand signals to help traffic understand which way you are going.
I am a Ride Safe Assessor and Trainer and for the next few weeks I am offering you and a group of friends (at least 4 in the group)the chance to train with me for the Award.
All you need is a group of 4 friends and in this instance your own horses and an arena you can ride in. I will come to you as a group and with 4 hours training, morning or afternoon (and a little homework) you could be ready to take the Ride Safe Assessment the cost for training will be £50 per person.
The Assessment should be booked directly through the BHS. Full details of the award are available on the BHS website
