Taken by more than 4,000 candidates a year, the Riding and Road
Safety Test helps educate riders in road safety in order to
minimise the risk involved when riding on the roads. The test is
available to all riders from 12 years of age and is supported by
the Department for Transport. It is the only test that any rider
will undertake that has the potential to save not only their own
life but that of their horse and other road users as well.
It is not essential to own a horse in order to take the test as
many riding schools and centres organise them for their pupils.
Similarly, you do not have to attend a centre in order to take
the training and the test. Although the published dates refer
mainly to tests being held at centres, if a group of eight or
more people can get together, many trainers and examiners are
happy, subject to a satisfactory BHS Riding and Road Safety risk
assessment being carried out, to come to them. This obviates the
need for your own transport.
