From the Publisher

'The books in this new OFFICIAL BHS EXAM SERIES are the ONLY authorised course companions for British Horse Society tests and exams, and the ONLY guides to the revised (2003) syllabuses'.
Excerpted from The BHS Training Manual for Stage 1 by Islay Auty. Copyright © 2003. Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.
Candidates must be physically fit in order to carry out yard and fieldwork efficiently, without undue stress and strain. They will be expected to demonstrate competent use of time.
Candidates will be expected to give practical demonstrations, as well as be involved in discussion of selected tasks and topics.
(The Stage 1 Syllabus us shown)
As you can see from the syllabus, the knowledge and practical ability that you require for the Stage 1 exam is very clearly disseminated into 'elements'. this is to encourage you to be systematic in your training and to ensure that your practical ability is underpinned with the necessary background knowledge.

A useful guide
This books tells you everything you should know for the BHS Stage 1, such as the syllabus and hints and tips for both riding and horse care. There are also helpful diagrams, such as points of the horse and the foot. Everything that could come up in your exam is covered. However, if you're looking for a book that tells you HOW to do the things you're required, (eg. what technique you should use when mucking out, tacking up etc.) I'd refer you the 'Course Companion' series by Maxine Cave.
