Three British Eventing Coaches have successfully gained the BECC Level 3. They started their BECC level 3 Eventing specific journey in October 2023 and after several months of intensive training they completed the course and qualification. The training consisted of face-to-face and online theory and practical coaching. The assessment was held at Ingestre Stables, Staffordshire using their outstanding facilities and horses and riders.

Big congratulations to;
