Official basic horse training with preparation for Attestation and Diploma
A structured training path designed for riders who want to build solid foundations and prepare seriously for the official basic horse training exams. The programme focuses on developing confidence, correctness, and practical understanding, combining horse handling, groundwork, theory, and riding in a clear and progressive way.
Depending on the level, the preparation can lead towards the Attestation, which focuses on handling the horse, groundwork, and theoretical knowledge, or towards the Diploma, which continues this foundation and includes the riding component. Ideal for riders who want a more structured learning path, with careful preparation and a strong emphasis on safe, respectful, and competent horsemanship.
