Hi All !

Please see below our new course dates running from September to November this year.
Please be aware these courses are first come first serve and some courses do have very limited numbers so make sure you book your place early!

A special BRITISH OPEN

What a very special British Open!  This year was a fantastic week at the Open.  Our demo team put on superb presentations.  As always, Alison Jones and Orange were solid gold, Rachael and Phoenix were insperational, Terri and Pumpkin were better than ever, Sally and Bertie were breathtaking, Ruth and Eddie stole the show, and Lyla and Maddie were a picture of harmony.

 

DATE CHANGE:"The Knowledge day" Kit prep and care, tying hackamores, saddling with savvy

Please be aware of a date change with the end of April courses. The 'Putting Purpose to Principles' Adv L/2 clinic shown on the website has now moved to April 24/25 (SAT AND SUN) instead of 25/26th April.

 

This means The Knowledge Day will be postponed until a later date.

 

Thanks !

Hi all, just to let you all know how Dennis is getting on since I've had him.  He is doing great, and becoming more confident each day.  After spending months keeping four feet on the ground, we are now helping him get confident by getting four feet off the ground, and it is making all the difference.  Here are some pictures of his first jumping session, and we will keep you posted. 

 

He has a permanent place at the foundation station, so watch this space.

A little story

Whilst teaching some new students, I shared a little story with them, with the hope of being able to empower them, and really help them reach their goals, and it went like this...

 

Alice was walking along the yellow brick road, when she came to a fork.  There, she saw a tree, with a cheshire cat sat in it!  Which road shall I take?" she asked.  "Where do you want to go?" was his response.

"I dont know", Alice answered.

"Then," said the cat, "why does it matter"
