HSI Coaching are pleased to announce new course dates and venues for the Horse Sport Ireland Coaching Programme, Introduction to Coaching and Level 1 Apprentice Coach courses which will take place over the coming months.

The Horse Sport Ireland Coaching Programme is designed to provide candidates with a pathway to a career as a successful competition coach. HSI Coaching courses are delivered by professional equestrian tutors and use modern techniques to improve both horses’ and riders’ performance. Coaching courses are currently delivered across four levels and are accredited by Coaching Ireland; the Irish governing body for coaching in all sports.
The HSI Coaching System is a competition based coaching system and focuses solely on coaching.
