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!

Hi All,

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,

We look forward to seeing you at our first Knowledge Day on Saturday 20th March with 3 star instructor and horse specialist, James Roberts! The day will begin at 10am.

If you have not yet heard of the Knowledge Days, these are horseless workshops - designed to be practical days to help you become more savvy in everyday situations, helping you to become a better horseman overall.

Hi everyone, we hope you are coping with this awful weather.

James has now confirmed all course dates up to August, including the dates for Karen Rohlfs course ( please email Lyla for rider details, and myself for spectator and bed and breakfast details)

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.

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"

Hi All,  we are pleased to anounce we are to be holding a series of PRACTICAL horseless workshops with James Roberts this winter.  These pratical days are to here to help you become more savvy in everyday situations, helping you to become a better horseman overall!

The days begin at 9:30am, and finishes at 4:30pm. 

Lunch is provided, and as usual, our now famous "mums homecooked lunch", with hot drinks and cake provided all day

All the workshops will be held in the large indoor arena.

This week saw the first Experience week students, and it was a great week.

Hi Everyone,

All of this years "Experience" weeks are now full!  Due to the popular demand, the "Experience"  weeks will carry on for all of next year.

It gives all Savvy club members a chance to "Experience" work and play at the U.K's only Foundation Station, a facility designed for foundation training and young horse starting, by James Roberts, 3* Horse specialist.  Plus an afternoon of tuition, with a tailor made programme for you and your horse, to set you up for success for the future!

Hi everyone, I thought I would share an experience with you all, and tell you what I have been up to these last few days.  I was contacted by Jamie and Dani Murray fro Kenya polo club to start a difficult horse.  I ended up coming to Kenya to start 6 young polo ponies, and putting a foundation on a further 7!
