Coach accreditations

All accredited coaches must hold an up to date criminal record check and be trained in safeguarding. 

British Equestrian and our member bodies encourage anyone who coaches or wants to become a coach in equestrian sport to become qualified. The process and the learning taken will ensure your practice is safer for those you’re coaching and will ensure the outcomes for both human and equine athlete are improved.

There are three pathways you can choose from to become a qualified equestrian coach...

  • British Horse Society (BHS) Equine Excellence pathway

  • Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) Coaches pathway

  • Equestrian Coaching Certificate pathway
