This course is available free of charge until 30 June. I've been through the course and it's brilliant. Developed by a horseperson for horsepeople it focuses on practical safety rather than a bureaucratic approach. It concentrates on the things that can really prevent accidents, injuries and save lives. Ace course material is provided!
Main areas it covers are: Horse Sense; safety when riding; safe working practices; machinery and equipment; accidents and people; First aid; Safety signs; Fire; Health & Safety Law; Health and hygiene.
I'd thoroughly recommend it to everyone - newbies and those who are more experienced who may want to sense check their knowledge.
This free offer is also being mentioned on the BHS and ABRS websites.
Snap it up!
