Applicable to all licensed equestrian premises, ABRS+ Approval demonstrates your commitment to excellence , both in the quality of your instruction and the care of your horses. By becoming an ABRS+ Approved Riding School, Trekking Centre, or Equestrian Centre, you give clients confidence that they’re in safe, professional hands and that your equines receive the highest standards of welfare.
ABRS+ Approval is open to all livery yards committed to exceptional horse care, professional management, and a safe, supportive environment for clients and equines. Becoming an ABRS+ Approved Livery Yard demonstrates your dedication to best practice and standards across welfare, safety, and customer service, reassuring clients that their horses are cared for by trusted professionals who put equine wellbeing first.
Becoming an approved Equine Assisted Service Provider with the ABRS+ signals a riding school’s commitment to safe, ethical, and impactful practice. It offers credibility and reassurance to clients, families, and funders, demonstrating that services meet robust standards in welfare, safeguarding, and professional delivery. Approval also connects schools to a respected network of practitioners, unlocking access to training, resources, and sector-wide advocacy. For schools offering therapeutic, educational, or wellbeing programmes, ABRS+ recognition strengthens their profile, supports sustainable growth, and reinforces their role in inclusive, community-focused equestrianism. It’s a mark of trust, quality, and shared values in equine-assisted work.
