Welcome to the Yorkshire Region of the UK’s largest and most influential equestrian charity. Yorkshire boasts some of the best horse riding opportunities in England, with vast stretches of unspoiled countryside in two National Parks, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors. The Yorkshire coastline offers the perfect landscape to explore on horseback, whether you want to gallop though the surf or admire the stunning scenery. The BHS is YOUR charity - join us.
Some of Our Key Achievements in 2011:
The Society commissioned the University of Brighton and Plumpton College to carry out research into the health benefits of riding in the UK
The BHS National Bridleroute Network grew by 29 percent this year with 71 routes being added and the 'On Horseback’ trail guide was launched in 2011 with a number of scenic rides for all to enjoy.
We ran 11 inspirational riding projects at BHS Approved Riding Centres around the UK offering opportunities to disadvantaged young people
We welcomed 60 newly qualified instructors throughout the UK and We enrolled in excess of 70 new Approved Riding Schools and Livery Yards
Launched in 1999 and held annually in May, The British Horse Society’s Access Week gives staff, volunteers and affiliated bridleways groups the opportunity to raise the profile of the work they carry out in defending, extending and promoting the equestrian off-road network.
