The ‘British Horse Society’ (BHS)

The ‘British Horse Society’ (BHS) system of approving equestrian establishments has two main objectives.

The first is to lay down standards for riding establishments. The BHS Approved Riding Schools programme aims to raise standards of instruction in riding establishments. To ensure that clients are well served to qualify for BHS approval; yards must meet the highest standards of instruction; safety and horse care; as appropriate.
The second objective is to support riding schools and livery yards, advising on good practice and keeping them up to date with new legislation. The programme now includes more than 950 establishments across the UK; Ireland; Belgium; Czech Republic; Hong Kong; Spain; Italy; Dubai; Malaysia and the USA. All BHS Approved Riding Schools, Where To Train Centres and Livery Yards are listed on the ‘British Horse Society’ (BHS) website: www.bhs.org.uk.

The British Horse Society (BHS) also represents the industry to government, lobbying for a fair deal on such matters as rates and planning guidance. Annual conferences for proprietors of all BHS Approved Establishments, are organised where current topics are explored and discussed.
