WHY THE CHANGE OF APPROACH ?

As we move forward, we’re making a strategic shift to a riding club model to provide greater suitability and predictability in our training schedules. This change is necessary to ensure that our riders, both new and experienced, continue to receive the best possible instruction and support in a way that fits our evolving needs.

Unfortunately,
I have (Jo) recently been diagnosed with health problems that prevent me from committing to the same level of involvement as I once did. Whilst I will still be a key part of our community, my role will transition into more of a behind-the-scenes position for the time being but will continue to be a source of knowledge and support, just in a different capacity moving forward.

Additionally, Brodie’s commitment to competing has significantly increased. With her growing competitive schedule, it’s crucial for us to implement a more structured, regular timetable to accommodate both Brodie’s competition commitments and the needs of all other riders. This allows us to balance the demands of competition with ensuring a consistent, well-organized environment for everyone involved.

To support this transition, we’re excited to introduce two new instructors who will be working alongside Brodie and Jo. These new instructors will provide additional support, especially as Jo takes a more advisory and behind-the-scenes role. They will ensure that the riding club runs smoothly, providing consistent instruction, a stable atmosphere, and more one-on-one attention to riders.

With these changes in place, we’re confident that we’ll be able to continue offering quality riding instruction in a more predictable and sustainable manner for everyone, ensuring the long-term success of both the club and the riders.

We look forward to welcoming riders to the programme

Thank you for your continued support
