FNRS rider passport

By making the choice to ride with an FNRS approved equestrian centre, you have chosen quality, safety and a broad spectrum of top of the mark riding educations.

You will receive the Riders’ Passport. This is an official and personal document for all riders that ride in an FNRS approved Equestrian Centre. It will give access to all FNRS riding educations(trainings?), it is an officially acknowledged institute in the Netherlands, and it guarantees a high grade level- and safety first education. It serves as a registration document for obtaining riding level marks (competitions). And, it also contains an automatic membership for KNHS (Royal Dutch Equestrian Sports Association), the sports league covering FNRS.

In the passport you can register many things, like competitions you have done, or outdoor rides, but also the first riding lessons you took. The passport also offers the chance to get a discount on certain activities and events, and it allows you to take part in competitions. A big bonus is that there is an insurance attached to the passport, covering accidents. Therefore, an important document to have!
