Riding School Licensing & Compliance Toolkit – Practical Guidance for Operators

Webinar: Riding School Licensing & Compliance Toolkit – Practical Guidance for Operators

Join us for a practical, no-nonsense webinar designed to help riding school operators understand licensing requirements and confidently use the compliance toolkit.

This session will walk you through what licensing bodies are really looking for, how to interpret statutory and best-practice guidance, and—most importantly—how to apply it in a way that is proportionate and workable for your yard.

We’ll introduce the toolkit structure and show you how to use it as a management system, not just a checklist. You’ll see how risk assessments, policies, procedures, and records all fit together to demonstrate compliance while supporting horse welfare, safety, and effective day-to-day operations.

What we’ll cover:

• What “good” looks like under current licensing expectations
• How to use the toolkit to assess and track compliance
• Turning risk assessments into practical actions (plans, procedures, signage)
• Key required and expected policies, plans, and records
• Proportionate approaches for small vs larger riding schools
• Common gaps and how to avoid them

Who it’s for:
Riding school owners, managers, and senior staff responsible for licensing, compliance, and operational standards.

Format:

• Live walkthrough of the toolkit
• Practical examples and explanations
• Opportunity for Q&A

Whether you’re preparing for inspection, reviewing your systems, or building your compliance framework from scratch, this session will give you clear, actionable guidance.
