Riding School Inspections
We can carry out annual inspections of riding schools.
Why do we inspect riding schools?
It is a legal requirement that all riding establishments offering tuition, trekking, orienteering and hunter hire are inspected on a yearly basis, in addition to being registered with their local authority (council) and having the relevant insurance.
The horses and the premises are inspected to assess the operation of the riding establishment as a whole.
This ensures that the horses are fit to be used for the job entailed and that they are kept to a reasonable standard.
The inspections include tack checks, confirmation that fire regulations are complied with and confirmation that a safe environment is maintained for horses, ponies, team members, riders and members of the public at all times.
