In addition to the trail and pleasure rider, the International Society of Rider Biomechanics researches and trains only in FEI-approved sports where the rules are internationally accepted and the horse’s health is covered by a very stringent set of rules, and policed by trained technical delegates. We therefore highly recommend that by Level 2 you have already undertaken one of the following Official FEI Courses. Should such courses not be held in your country, why not travel to the USA and do your course? We can help with logistics on the ground and have a network of coaches who would be able to host you in their home city.
