THE Horse Sport Ireland (HSI) 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 horse and rider performance. Coaching courses are currently delivered across four levels and are accredited by Sport Ireland, the governing body for coaching in all sports.

The HSI Coaching system has been adopted by the British Equestrian Federation (BEF) and the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI), Horsescotland, and the Hungarian Equestrian Federation. Horse Sport Ireland Coaching Department are currently working to redevelop the Level 1 Apprentice Coach Course. The new Level 1 course will be launched later this year.
