HEC is fully insured and licenced with the East Riding of Yorkshire Council (Number AA3243511) and all our staff are BHS qualified.

Our yard has passed strict yearly assessments by the British Horse Society, and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, which covers all areas in the inspection  including, the standard of lessons, horse welfare, facilities, risk assessments, Safeguarding etc. This is a gold standard to look for when looking for a suitable establishment.

We have recently been awarded the BHS "highly commended" approvals award across the board, along with being awarded 5 STARS by the ERYC. 

 

Collectively we have over 80 years of experience in the training of horse and rider, and have previously trained riders of all ages in several local riding schools.

Our chief instructor is qualified as a BHS Level 4 senior coach, BHSAI (ITT) &  BHS Accredited Coach.

All our staff are qualified coaches with either the BHS or the ABRS. 

 

We are a small friendly business, where your enjoyment and development are of upmost importance  to us.  All our horses/ponies are carefully selected by us, to give the best possible experience for riders of all levels.
