They can, however, never cover every eventuality. Matters that cannot be solved by interpreting the Rules to the letter should be resolved by following as nearly as possible the spirit of the text to obtain the solution that is fairest to all competitors. This handbook supersedes all previous publications and is subject to change from time to time by the Board in respect of operational/exceptional matters. Equality Statement British Showjumping is fully committed to the principles of equality of opportunity and aims to ensure that no individual receives less favourable treatment on the grounds of age, gender, disability, race, ethnic origin, nationality, colour, parental or marital status, pregnancy, religious belief, class or social background, sexual orientation or political belief. Including all those involved in whatever capacity, riders, employees, coaches, officials, other volunteers and spectators. British Showjumping will ensure, wherever it is reasonable and within British Showjumping's direct control, that there is open access to all those who wish to participate in all aspects of equestrian activity and that they are treated fairly.

  • Physiological Demands of Eventing and Performance Related Fitness in Female Horse Riders
    Physiological Demands of Eventing and Performance Related Fitness in Female Horse Riders J. Douglas A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the University’s requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2017 University of Worcester ! DECLARATION I declare that this thesis is a presentation of my own original research work and all the written work and investigations are entirely my own. Wherever contributions of others are involved, this is clearly acknowledged and referenced. I declare that no portion of the work referred to in this thesis has been submitted for another degree or qualification of any comparable award at this or any other university or other institution of learning. Signed: Date: I ! ABSTRACT Introduction: Scientific investigations to determine physiological demands and performance characteristics in sports are integral and necessary to identify general fitness, to monitor training progress, and for the development, prescription and execution of successful training interventions. To date, there is minimal evidence based research considering the physiological demands and physical characteristics required for the equestrian sport of Eventing. Therefore, the overarching aim of this thesis was to investigate the physiological demands of Eventing and performance related fitness in female riders. Method: The primary aim was achieved upon completion of three empirical studies. Chapter Three: Anthropometric and physical fitness characteristics and training and competition practices of Novice, Intermediate and Advanced level female Event riders were assessed in a laboratory based physical fitness test battery. Chapter Four: The physiological demands and physical characteristics of Novice level female event riders throughout the three phases of Novice level one-day Eventing (ODE) were assessed in a competitive Eventing environment.

  • Coaching Courses Frequently Asked Questions
    Coaching courses Frequently Asked Questions What do I need to have before I start on an Equestrian coaching pathway? We would recommend any prospective equestrian coach gain significant experience and engage in recognised certificated programmes to give the basics in horse care and management. There are a range of options for this, including the Pony Club tests, BHS Care and Lunge components of the Grooms pathway, ABRS range of tests, rosettes and awards, WBD / SVQ / City and Guilds qualifications in Horse care (e.g. City and Guilds qualification) ; racing industry qualifications (see here) available through colleges and other education providers. These courses and tests will give the grounding in horse care and safety to ensure you can assure the coaching practices you develop through the pathway are as safe as they can be, looking after the welfare of the horse as well as the participant. What are the differences between the British Horse Society (BHS) qualifications and Equestrian Coaching Certificate pathway endorsed by UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC)? The BHS pathway provides a rounded programme of assessment encompassing riding, horse care and management along with teaching and training practices. This pathway is assessment only and has no taught element delivered directly by the BHS Head Office although BHS Approved Riding Centres and Accredited Professional Coaches do offer training. You can therefore choose your own method of learning, whether that be from text books, practical experience or class-based learning. BHS would actively encourage you to gain as much practical experience as you can while progressing through the stages combined with text books and taught courses which are available via colleges, at equestrian centres and are offered by freelance coaches.

ISSN 1746-6148 Copyright © 2013 The Authors http://eprints.gla.ac.uk/87251 Deposited on: 04 November 2013 Enlighten – Research publications by members of the University of Glasgow http://eprints.gla.ac.uk Boden et al. BMC Veterinary Research 2013, 9:188 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1746-6148/9/188 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access An online survey of horse-owners in Great Britain Lisa A Boden1*†, Tim DH Parkin1†, Julia Yates2†, Dominic Mellor1† and Rowland R Kao2† Abstract Background: Contingency planning for potential equine infectious disease outbreaks relies on accurate information on horse location and movements to estimate the risk of dissemination of disease(s). An online questionnaire was used to obtain unique information linking owner and horse location to characteristics of horse movements within and outwith Great Britain (GB). Results: This online survey yielded a strong response, providing more than four times the target number of respondents (1000 target respondents) living in all parts of GB. Key demographic findings of this study indicated that horses which were kept on livery yards and riding schools were likely to be found in urban environments, some distance away from the owner’s home and vaccinated against influenza and herpes virus. Survey respondents were likely to travel greater than 10 miles to attend activities such as eventing or endurance but were also likely to travel and return home within a single day (58.6%, 2063/3522).

  • 19 June 2020 British Equestrian: COVID-19 Update While Training
    For immediate release – 19 June 2020 British Equestrian: COVID-19 Update While training and competition plans are in motion for many of British Equestrian’s Member Bodies in England, announcements by the devolved governments of Scotland (18 June) and Wales (19 June) have brought limited change to lockdown restrictions for equestrians. Scotland In Scotland, the Route Map moves into phase two, which means three households can now meet outdoors. This now allows professional coaches and riding school instructors to deliver training to a maximum of two households per day. horsescotland and BHS Scotland have been working on industry guidance, which has been submitted for approval to sportscotand and the government. Wales The announcement today in Wales paved the way for sport to resume. However, with travel restricted to five miles and activity only permitted with members from your household or one additional household, sporting activity is limited to training at present. The announcement indicates that the ‘stay local’ requirement will be lifted on 6 July under the next release of information, while a review will take place on 9 July. Member Body updates A number of the British Equestrian Member Bodies covering competitive disciplines have announced details regarding a restart of action in England, and have launched plans outlining their ‘road maps’ to getting competitors back training and competing. This is the current state of play across the Member Bodies (England only unless stated): British Carriage Driving Training underway, with the first national competition planned for 14 – 16 August. British Dressage Operational plan Training in the English regions, and limited live and online training in Wales and Scotland.

  • Annual Report July 2017 – July 2018 Chairman’S Report
    BRITISH EQUESTRIAN FEDERATION ANNUAL REPORT JULY 2017 – JULY 2018 CHAIRMAN’S REPORT The BEF is a Federation of 19 Member Bodies united through a common purpose to advance the cause of equestrianism in the UK and globally. Shortly before joining the BEF as an independent Chairman in early April 2018 the findings of the Independent Review were published. The report’s three key recommendations were to (1) identify the role and responsibilities of the BEF; (2) establish a strong leadership within the BEF and, (3) maintain good governance. In the weeks and months that followed the BEF represented by its board and executive team worked closely with the leaders of our Member Bodies, the BEF Council, UK Sport and Sport England to address these key areas. Through an open and constructive dialogue we have made significant progress. We now have clarity and agreement in which areas the BEF will lead and where it will support its Member Bodies. We will finalise and issue this as part of the BEF strategy work in the coming weeks. Through the recruitment of Nick Fellows as our Chief Executive in March 2018 we have strengthened our management team. Nick is an experienced leader with an impressive track record. His contribution in leading and supporting a talented executive team and working closely with our key stakeholders is already making a positive difference. With the support of UK Sport and Sport England we have implemented important governance reform and adopted the Code of Sports Governance at the BEF with the support of our Member Bodies. Implementation of the governance requirements is largely completed.

  • Rider Weight Study Provides New Evidence of the Deleterious Effects of Inappropriate Loading on Equine Gait and Behaviour
    Rider Weight Study Provides New Evidence of the Deleterious Effects of Inappropriate Loading on Equine Gait and Behaviour A ground-breaking new scientific study has just been published in the peer-reviewed journal Equine Veterinary Education. The authors were a team of researchers led by Dr. Sue Dyson, Head of Clinical Orthopaedics at the Centre for Equine Studies at the Animal Health Trust in Newmarket. The multi-disciplinary study took place at World Horse Welfare’s Norfolk headquarters and represented an extraordinary level of collaboration and cooperation from across many sectors of the UK equine industry. The study was generously supported by World Horse Welfare, the Saddle Research Trust, Frank Dyson, British Equestrian Federation, British Horse Society, Pony Club, Polocrosse UK, The Showing Council, The Showing Register, The Society of Master Saddlers, Riding for the Disabled, British Eventing, British Dressage, the British Horse Foundation, the Worshipful Company of Saddlers and Endurance GB. Industry support Recently, there has been a growing concern within the equine industry that as the human population gets heavier, horses are increasingly being subjected to excessive loading. The problem that we currently face however, is that there is a lack of objective evidence that can provide us with guidelines for appropriate weight ratios of horses and riders. The controversial topic was discussed at the Saddle Research Trust 2nd International Conference and highlighted as a research priority. World Horse Welfare and the British Equestrian Federation subsequently organised an industry consultation meeting that was attended by senior representatives from the equine industry. As a result of that meeting, many of the UK’s leading equine organisations pledged to financially support a research project to help develop appropriate weight ratios guidance.
