Do you need to do the training for stage 1 and stage 2 at a centre or can you learn it through practise at home and working through the books they do for each stage?
If its preferable to train somewhere then is there anywhere (near Essex/suffolk) that will do that part time or full time but not as a working pupil (unless they take a working pupil who is well over 18 lol and preferably not more then 16hrs a week)
Are the jumps in stage 2 up to height generally (says on the BHS jumps will be 2'3 max) I assume you have to jump if you want to do the riding section? I'm also assuming the horse you jump are fairly big (because 2'3 looks fairly big on a 13.2hh) and happy to jump that height normally fairly easily? I don't think 2'3 is out of my scope but I've noticed they're a lot bigger in the stage 3
I'm assuming that if you wanted to run/manage a riding school/full & part livery situation it would be preferable to have BHS qualifications?
