British Equestrian has reopened its Coaching Bursary Scheme, offering funding support for new and developing coaches across the equestrian industry 🐴✨
Whether you’re just starting your coaching journey or looking to build on your skills, this initiative could help you take the next step — with up to 50% funding available for selected coaching qualifications.
Hear from previous bursary recipient Jasmine, who said: “Without funding from the bursary, I wouldn’t have been able to complete the inclusive coaching course. It helped me become more open-minded, gain more skills and get a better understanding of how small adjustments in my coaching can make my sessions more inclusive.”
