In all the DVD's 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 this programme, five candidates are shown taking the Stage 3 exam. We see them in a group discussion in the classroom covering topics such as minor ailments and fitness. In the riding, they are shown over the flat and over a course of both showjumps and cross country fences. The practical and practical oral sections are covered in the stable yard and include trotting a horse up for inspection and loading into a horse box. Candidates are also seen exercising a horse on the lunge in the indoor school.
Filmed exclusively at Hartpury College, Jeremy comments at regular intervals during each stage on the performances 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 exam.
