BHS Stage 2 Horse Care
Course Content
This course is designed to brush up on exam techniques for the British Horse Society Stage 2 Knowledge and Riding. Exam entry is not part of the cost. The BHS progressive riding tests are incorporated into the course and cost but are not compulsory. The college will not guarantee candidates will pass all 3 tests in the 10 week period; this will be dependent on student’s ability before the start of the course.
