If you complain about a BHS examiner you will be black balled and never pass an exam?

Just been told by an examiner (name will not be revealed) that if you complain to the BHS about an examiner ie unfair failing of riding section you will never pass a BHS exam again however good you are.

My other thread of earlier today is about the amount of candidates unfairly failed on the flat today at Summerhouse. (no fault of Summerhouse, horses were all good).

Since then I have had several people tell me their stories about unfair pass rates and the blackballing of students who may have had a previous grievence with an examiner.

Why is this being allowed to happen, these exams are very expensive and stressful at the best of times.

Would these examiners be so petty and bullyish if the candidates were all men?

Sounds like sour grapes to me!

If you are not good enough to pass you won't, if you are you will - simples!!

No, that's such a myth! And if you're worried about getting the same examiner, just go to a different region.

If you have concerns about the way the exam was run. Complain. But the complaints say you can only complain about a concern the way an exam was run (ie not to syllabus), you can't complain for failing! or at least that's what it said when I did mine.
