routes for horse riders has been recognised with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhs.org.uk\/\">British Horse Society (BHS)<\/a> national award.<\/p>\n<p>The students, who are studying for their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/equine\/level-3-advanced-technical-diploma-equine-management\/\">Level 3 Advanced Technical Extended Diploma<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/equine\/tech-bacc-horse-management\/\">Technical Baccalaureate in Equine Management<\/a> at the Nantwich college, plotted over 300 bridleways or footpaths with bridleway rights in Staffordshire which could be lost if not officially re-recorded on new maps by 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The students\u2019 research, on foot and on-line over three months, was a collaboration with the national BHS Project 2026 and earned them a BHS 2020 Access Achievement Award in recognition of their significant contribution to equestrian access. It will also count as part of their community engagement qualification, which is in addition to their college qualification.<\/p>\n<p>Project 2026 aims to safeguard and where possible reinstate bridleways and byways to provide safe routes for equestrian and rural communities who otherwise must risk using potentially dangerous roads. Many routes are ancient highways and their loss could add to the rising number of serious road riding accidents as well as denying the public the mental health benefits of countryside access.<\/p>\n<p>After researching the bridleways, often on ancient maps, the students have been logging their data onto the BHS Project 2026 Mapping and Research website. This vital information enables researchers to quickly locate the routes and find supportive evidence for Definitive Map Modification Order Applications which have been passed to Staffordshire County Council.<\/p>\n<p>Following the success of the 2020 initiative, 50 students are this year focusing on bridleways in Hampshire and Calderdale, West Yorkshire, which they will research on-line.<\/p>\n<p>BHS 2026 Project Manager Will Steel gave a project overview and introduced the data collection system during a seminar at Reaseheath\u2019s Equestrian Centre this week. He said: \u201cThe BHS is very grateful for the support received from Reaseheath on this important project. It is great to see the students engaging with the wider equestrian industry. Hopefully this will lead to a long term commitment to securing a nationwide network of bridleways for safer riding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curriculum Area Manager Jessica Hassall-Gibson emphasised: \u201cReaseheath\u2019s equestrian department is delighted to be part of this national initiative which will make a huge difference to the landscape of off road riding and ensure that it remains sustainable for future generations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe COVID-19 lockdown has highlighted the importance of preserving access to the countryside for mental and physical wellbeing and this project will benefit the equestrian community and the wider public.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learn more at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhs.org.uk\/2026\">https:\/\/www.bhs.org.uk\/2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e{\nheight:50px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-4474f20d2389e2e5ecf918a02da5132e hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A project by Reaseheath College equine students to identify safe off road routes for horse riders has been recognised with a British Horse Society (BHS) national award.<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on get_the_excerpt --><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":54,"featured_media":108228,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
