BEF Coaching Bursary | Association of British Riding Schools

British Equestrian has opened a new round of applications for its popular coaching bursary. The scheme is designed to support those taking their first step in their coaching career or who want to develop their existing coaching skills, to enable more participants to enjoy equestrian sport.

The British Equestrian Coach Bursary Scheme is open to:

Riding school staff and volunteers who want to get started with their coaching qualifications and grow the opportunities for people to enjoy riding

Coaches from underrepresented populations or protected characteristics within our coaching workforce

Coaches who work with participants from underrepresented populations or with protected characteristics within our current equestrian community.

Applicants can apply for up to fifty percent of the course and/or assessment costs for a number of different coaching qualifications offered by British Equestrian’s member bodies. This includes the ABRS+ Certificate in Equestrian Coaching at L1 or L2.

We have put 18 people through our coaching pathway under the last 2 bursary schemes and we have some waiting to start.

We have venues up and down the country. Need to know more – speak to the ABRS+ Office or email office@abrs-info.org.

The closing date for applications for this bursary is 11:59pm on Sunday 8 December 2024.
