In all the dvds in this series Jeremy Michaels FBHS, former Head of Education at the BHS, gives the viewer a guided tour through each exam showing the content of the exam day, what the examiners are looking for and what exactly is involved.
In the BHS Stage 1 exam the day starts at 8.30am with an examiner briefing and is usually finished by 1.00pm. Six pupils take the exam and are followed through the practical and practical oral where they are required to have a basic knowledge of horse care and conformation. In the riding section the candidates ride two horses, both on the flat and then over poles on the ground.
Filmed exclusively at Hartpury College, Jeremy comments at regular intervals during each stage on the performances of each of the individual candidates, highlighting both good and bad points. He also talks to the examiners and gets them to comment on specific items of interest.
Any prospective candidate will find this series to be an invaluable aid when preparing for the BHS exams.
