I train for BHS Challenge Awards, I am qualified as an Equestrian Tourism (Ride Out) Assessor and trainer and Ride Safe trainer and Assessor.
Be like Thomas and Toby start your journey through the Challenge Awards. You can start at any level. Thomas and Toby started with Bronze only 3 left and then on to Silver. If you don’t ride that is fine you can do the About the Horse Awards which are all about care and welfare. If you do ride you can do About the Rider Awards. You can start your journey with the Introduction awards and go through to the new Platinum Awards or you can start anywhere in between.
How can I help
So I am just trying to help clients (sorry fiends) on whatever journey they are on. I am happy to come to you for private sessions or groups of friends at riding clubs and livery yards. Maybe you and your friends would like to get involved with the Challenge Awards it doesn’t matter what your level is there is an award for you. Especially the Silver Riding Out award which is Ride Safe, of real importance to those who hack out.
(Plus the newly arrived Platinum Awards)
Every level of Award you Complete you will receive a badge to wear with pride.
I am also available to come to Riding Centres (I understand it is difficult for staff to disappear for training) for the Riding Out Pathway Assessments preparation so that is Ride Leader 2 and above. May be you have staff or volunteers who would like to learn about ride management, map reading, ride and lead. By coming to your Centre your staff can work with horses and equipment they are used to. If you have hacks going out it is important that your Leaders are qualified just as your Coaches should be for lessons. For the Ride Leader 2 award it is simple especially if they already hold Stage 2 Care
