British Equestrian Tourism currently offers three levels of qualification for
those working in the horse industry. They are created from the expertise and
experience of the British Horse Society, the Trekking and Riding Society of
Scotland, the Welsh Establishments as British Equestrian Tourism (BET)
and are internationally recognised by the Federation Internationale Touriste
Equestre (FITE).
These examinations are for Assistant and Ride Leader and Holiday Riding
Centre Manager.

These qualifications are very relevant to today's Riding Schools which are
becoming more aware of their commitment to the safety of both rider and
horse, and the need to look after their clients in a more professional
competent and friendly way.
Working alongside existing BHS qualifications these exams are more in tune
with the hacking/trekking side of the riding school . British Equestrian
Tourism is about looking after tourists who ride horses on holiday, riders
and non-riders alike. Our qualifications are designed to help ensure that
ride escorts have the knowledge and ability to provide for the safety of
riders and horses on hacks, that they can look after horses in their
care, staff in their charge, the stable yard, business and clients, to a
high and internationally recognised standard and, that they have a
certificate to show it.
