Need your advice

[Anastasia]

I'm going to remove to England, and connect my future job with horses.
Now I have "sport degree" in dressage of my country, but as far as I understand I must pass examination in England, if I want to advance my dressage skills and for future work.
May be somebody can tell me approximately what level I have now(by English standards of horse ridings), if I do dressage and can do : pirouette (in walk), flying changes,half-pass,travers,shoulder-in,renvers, & schooling exercises.Also have knowledges of theory of dressage, horse care.

I think you may need the BHS stages (british horse society) maybe have a look at their website

I saw their web-site, but I want to know if compare my stage with BHS stages, what BHS stage I "can have for today"(I mean with my experience. I know that I must start with lowest stage, but if forget aboui it)

[shandy84]

I would call them and ask to be honest

[Anastasia]

Okay, thank you.:)

Actually the BHS can do conversion of international certificates. It will definitely be worth your while to ring them up and ask what they can do for you.

Have you spent much time in the UK (esp around horses?). Having been around horses all my life on continental Europe, I was very surprised by how different things are here. It will be worth perhaps getting some on the ground experience to see if realising your dreams is truly feasible.

Good luck!

Much time in the UK - no, much time arround horses(but here) - yes.
If it is not difficult for you, can you tell me the difference between continental Europe horse life, and the UK's horse life..
