Many thanks go to our wide variety of guinea pigs, BHS stage 2-4 riders, some of whom were lunged while others were discussed on the flat and over fences. Everyone had a great day and a huge thank you to Sabrina for coming north to share her knowledge and expertise.”

We are investigating the difference in licence fees and conditions, with a view to standardising and reducing the cost to Riding Establishments. We need your help to understand current practice. The survey will only take a few minutes.
