Welcome to The Association of British Riding Schools, a renowned non-profit organisation located in Horsham, New Zealand. We are dedicated to promoting and supporting the equestrian community by providing exceptional horse riding education, training, and services.
Our primary focus is on offering top-quality horse riding lessons and coaching to riders of all ages and skill levels. Whether you are a beginner looking to learn the basics of horse riding or an experienced rider seeking to improve your skills, our team of certified and experienced instructors is here to support you on your equestrian journey.
We offer a range of courses and certifications, including the Certificate in Equestrian Coaching, which has replaced the UKCC as the industry standard coaching qualification. This programme is open to both members and non-members of our association, providing individuals with the necessary knowledge and skills to become competent equestrian coaches.
In addition to our coaching programmes, we also strive to promote the highest standards of care and welfare for equines. By becoming an ABRS+ approved riding establishment, livery yard, or equestrian centre, you can demonstrate to your clients that you uphold the utmost level of instruction and equine care. Being ABRS+ approved offers various benefits, such as membership to the Equestrian Employers Association (EEA) and opportunities for professional development.
If you're looking for an ABRS+ certified or approved establishment in your area, our interactive member search tool can help you find the perfect place. By choosing an ABRS+ approved riding school or certified/approved livery yard, you can have peace of mind knowing that you and your horse will receive the highest level of care and professionalism.
As an ABRS+ member, you gain access to our exclusive members area, where you can find a wide range of information, support, and resources to assist you in managing and developing your equestrian premises. Additionally, our website features the latest news and updates regarding the equestrian industry, keeping you informed and connected to the community.
