About Stage to Saddle
BHS exam preparation, dressage, show jumping and cross-country coaching, yard consulting and career mentoring. Online and worldwide.
Real yard skills, not just exam answers
Stage to Saddle was built by working equestrian professionals who saw the same gap again and again: talented riders and grooms who knew their horses, but had nowhere structured and affordable to prepare for their BHS exams, wherever they lived.
So we built one academy for every Stage, taught the way it's done on a real yard. Every lecture, video and mock exam is written by people who ride, teach, groom and manage yards every day, and checked against how the assessments are run in practice.
- One clear path from Stage 1 to Stage 4, with every part available on its own
- Taught online in every time zone, and in person at yards around the world
- The same Stage to Saddle materials, whichever instructor you learn with
- Fair prices in US dollars, the same in every country
- Taught in English and Arabic, with more languages soon
Built around the horse

Every step counts
Short lessons, clear goals and mock exams, so you always know your next step and walk in ready.
