Teaching

[Seahorse]

Are you 'allowed' to teach people without having any BHS qualifications?

Lots of people teach without BHS qualifications BUT there has to be insurance!

Weirdly, my understanding is that you do not have to be qualified to teach horse riding but that leaves the problem of insurance - riders/horses would have to insured themselves.

The two best instructors I have had were not BHS qualified.

For your own safety the instructor should have insurance though.

A few people at my yard have asked me to give them lessons and are willing to pay me too!
I just wondered if I need a formal qualification, and/or insurance.

I really enjoy teaching and would like to do some freelance work maybe, and I am willing to do my BHS exams etc if necessary, but if I don't have to all the better!

Can I get insurance without being a qualified instructor?

im looking into taking my ABRS (i think thats the one) exams for teaching just to earn a bit of extra money as its a qualification and cheaper

SEIB will insure you for teaching without Qualifications. I insured with them prior to doing my PTT. Im now on the BHS register & it's a lot cheaper.

Just get some quotes as if your paying insurance you need to make sure your lessons pay for it & you get a bit of profit.
