Put simply, Horseback Archery is shooting an arrow from a horse. 
 
Put with the NHAS, it is learning to ride a specifically trained horse with consideration, partnership and mutual enjoyment, enjoying the highest standards of care at a beautiful, purpose built, well equipped International Competition Venue in the heart of England. 
 
With the NHAS, Horseback Archery is to reap the rewards the responsibility of trust. It is sharing the enjoyment of speed, confidence and the exuberance of movement. It is allowing the horse to show you what can be done, working in unison to reach your targets. It is the freedom to stretch your boundaries, trust your partner and play your part in a decisive two-part harmony. 
 
With the NHAS, it is the difference between haste and speed, flow and action, working fast and riding soft. Our spectacular horses always come first, trusting in our decisions and actions and enjoying the highest levels of care and horsemanship, and this allows us to teach you how to get the very best from these amazing animals and yourself.
