Equine Centre

The Equestrian Centre at BCA has stabling for over 50 horses and is approved by the British Horse Society (BHS) as a ‘Where to Train’ centre up to BHSAI. We regularly host BHS examinations up to Stage 3 and the Preliminary Teaching Test and encourage all our learners to develop their practical skills alongside their vocational qualification.

 

The horses are predominantly stabled and cared for on a working livery basis which enables students of every level to develop their practical skills under the supervision of experienced BHS qualified staff. The horses are selected to ensure that we develop the student’s skills in handling a range of horses in preparation for working within the industry.

Customer feedback

The staff on the yard are very friendly and welcoming, very easy to communicate with – also well organised so nothing gets lost and horse rugs and tack are really respected and looked after. The facilities are great and there is never any issue about there being no school available. My mare Indi is definitely quirky – she can be so quiet and at other times quite scared of things or can get worked up about being taken away from her best friend. The team at BCA have always had Indi’s and my own best interests in mind and taken great care of her and consulted me with regard to any changes. I have been able to ask for things that I particularly wanted implemented in her care, without any issue being made about her being a special case. We have been at BCA a year now and settled in well – I am so grateful to be able to relax, knowing she is being taken care of.

I work and live full time in London and BCA offered me the perfect solution for keeping my own horse again. The level of care is exceptional, and the facilities are brilliant as well. Marmite loves her work and living out, so the set up really suits her. There is the added benefit of a lot of local riding club activities actually taking place at BCA as well. She is fit for me to go out and compete and take part in riding club activities at the weekend and there is always a welcome feel on the yard.
