The fourth in the Summer Series of Workshops with Steph Gaunt took place on Sunday 25th July in the ever evolving play park at Hamstones.  'Focus' was the topic for the day and the riders were challenged to keep this despite the flies, other disturbances and the natural tendency to see what everyone else is doing!  Good work riders, and it is really great to see the enthusiasm and progress everyone is making.

My week at the JRFS

Thank you James for a fantastic experience week. I learned so much and Seren has come back a different horse - or I guess it is me that has changed not him. You are so generous with your time and sharing your years of experience with all that come to you. I can't wait to come back in 3 weeks to collect Morwenna and see how you have transformed her. To get to watch you Katie, Josh and Janine play with the colts was a privilege, I feel very lucky that I have had the opportunity to spend time with you all.

Awesome horseless workshop!

Posted Mon, 03/22/2010 - 11:08 by BeccaandKaty  BeccaandKaty

Many thanks to James and his team for putting on such a fun, informative and practical day on Saturday, I had a brilliant time!

It was great to meet some new people, see some old friends and soak up the knowledge :-)

Roll on the next one...

Just got my silver medal and 200 cumulative mile rosette for Arch and my endurance exploits this year !

AND the Harlster who is still only 4 (well for another month anyway) got his first ever medal for anything - a bronze for his miles this year and a rosette for his first 100 cumulative miles and a carrot for being the best trail riding horse ever ever.

Happy !

Max

 

Another fantastic week!

Posted Mon, 02/15/2010 - 11:34 by BeccaandKaty  BeccaandKaty

I was lucky enough to get to spend another week at the James Roberts Foundation Station - and once again it was educational, inspirational, fun, and challenging! 

Katy was a complete star, she seems to enjoy being there as much as at home, and it was great to get a plan mapped out to improve our freestyle and finesse so that level 4 now seems attainable.   

James, Vicki, Janine and Josh were brilliant as usual, there was so much to learn just by watching them through the week.
