British Riding Clubs Training and Examinations - as a member of an affiliated riding club, you can take BRC Equitation and Welfare exams.
These are split into Seniors and Juniors and there are two parts to the exam: Equitation and Welfare. The equitation side of things examines your riding ability while welfare focuses on stable management. What is so appealing about these exams is that they are compatible with the BHS exams.
There are four levels to the Equitation and Welfare exams. If you pass Equitation 3 with Jumping and Horse Welfare 3 you gain direct entry onto a BHS Stage 3 exam.
