Has anyone done BHS Horse Owners Certificate, Level 1?

[JumpingJazz]

As I'm doing at the end of September.

I don't really know what you do there or anything. Do people teach you things, and what is the test like at the end? Do you have to do any writing?

I just want to know what you have to do before and in the test so I know what to expect.

By the way I'm going to an animal collage called Broomfield Collage to do my exam, just incase you were wondering.

Thanks.

i have!!i did all 4!!1 is quite easy n quite a lot of horse facts and stuff u do everyday with out thinking!!we took notes from the instructer, then you have a writen test which you need 60% to pass the instructer then marks the paper and sends int the BHS for remarking!!hope this helps!!

Tanyajayne on here has done the Horse Owner's Certificate so you could try PMing her She really enjoyed it.
Me and Pixiebeater from here are doing a clipping course at Broomfield on 23rd and 24th September - it's supposed to be very nice so I'm sure you'll enjoy sitting the test there

I looked at doing it locally too, but wasn't sure what it entailed! lol
I'm not sure of the start date, and things have been a bit hectic recently so haven't had time to go to the college.
Off to have another look

Fancy the riding and knowledge too but need to improve my canter first.

I've done 1-3 and it was really easy. 1 is basic common sense about horsecare which you will probably already know if you are around horses everyday.
Personally I think everyone should do something like it before they take on a horse.
Good luck

Ye I've done level 1 and 2. I did the at eml's rs. They were very good as I hadn't looked after horses for about 15 years. Now I have my own horse I still sometimes refer to the notes.
