After reading the email, no the Area System stays.

I did not receive this but was send it by my club. Not every one has received it. Poor show BHS and even poorer show BRC. They can't even be bothered to let us know.

No I am not. And won't be rejoining. If I want to waste my money and be a member of the the BHS I would it join. The staff are awful can't tell you the problems I have had in the past with them. A few years ago I drove to help at a Championship because of the club has to give a member to help...

Totally agree with you. The BHS exams are so out of date. Shame that the Pony Club and Riding Clubs did not develop their own coaching system.

I had a great time, groomed for a friend. Must say I thought the Riding Test Judges on the Saturday where a bit mean and one of the team members sheet was judged as a Dressage test. Stiil cant work out what the Style Jumping Judge was looking for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its so sad that Riding Clubs have come to this, but until something better comes along for Grassroot riders there is nothing out there for teams. And Riding Club training has been poor for quite a few years. I am not joining again next year and quite a few of my friends have not rejoin this year...

Thank you at last someone who has common sense. All I can say is read the BRC Rule BooK!!!! Its on line!!!!!!!! Its up to you to make sure you are not breaking the rules not blaming someone else.

Try the people who run Thorton Wanless H/T's. He and his wife are lovely and have so much knowledge. To be honset better than Northallerton.

I had an awful time with my Area Riding test. It was judge like a Dressage test and the comments where so negative. You must have been very good to get 8 for Turn About the Forehand. When I looked in the BRC Rule Book for the details on what the judge is looking for, they are so badly writen! I...

I when to look at the new BRC Competion yesterday. It was ok, but I still think it should be a Hunter Trial. Hope you had luck with the BRC Office, my club often finds that no one knows the rules there. It would be nice if all members where sent a rule book. We pay enough. But I have been given...

I would try the BHS as Riding Clubs is now the BHS.

Thanks for that. But I have been talking to some friends who have been on the BRC training days and they have said it is a closed shop. I also understand that there have been problems in the past with reporting Riding test judges. Nothing has ever been done.

I have just joined a Riding Club so I can competed in the new competiton at Winsdor Horse Show. Can someone please explain what is a Riding Test and who trains the judges for this. I was surprised at the poor standard of judging and riding. I thought it was to be judged on the rider and not how...

My Christmas present this year whats a series of lessons with a Dressage coach! Not cheap, but nice as he hates horses. Guess what half way through my lesson, I noticed the coach had fallen asleep! I know, I am just starting to get into Dressage but I cant be that bad. Guess what I still had to...

Yes there is a BRC National Conference it is on the 16th November. I am sure BRC would love to see you. If you have any problems get hold of your BRC Area rep thats what they are there for. If that does not work come to the BRC Confernce.
