England is now under a National Lockdown and there are new restrictions in place which will impact on horse owners and our riding schools. We understand how worrying this new lockdown will be for everyone but please be assured that the BHS will be providing support and guidance as it becomes available.
During the lockdown riding schools must close for public lessons and activities
Arena hire is not permitted, however arenas can be used for exercising horses which are stabled at the venue, livery yard or riding school
Horse owners, loaners and sharers can continue to travel to care for and exercise their horse when it is not kept at home
Livery yards can continue to allow horse owners, loaners or sharers to care for and exercise their horse
Horse riding can continue although all organised activities and competitions will be required to stop
Essential visits for the welfare of horses e.g. farrier, vet and physio can continue
