Committees
The 15 members of the CBHS Council are each appointed to one of four main Committees.
Breed, Show, Promotions and Supporters Groups. Each of the Chairs of these Committees together with the Chair of Council make up the Executive Committee of the Council.
In addition the Council will from time to time create specific sub committees to deal with specific aspects of business. Non Council members can be co-opted to those sub committees if they have specific expertise on the subject under consideration.
The Council is also supported by a Chief Officer who acts as secretary to the Executive Committee, represents the CBHS at external meeting with outside bodies and also deals with various other administerative duties including issuing Horse Passports. The Chief Officer does not have a vote.
