Exciting news. 😁 I still have a few slots available for this next week. Open to everyone.
Wednesday 18th Sept, starting from 1pm message me to book your slot. Then every month. Private sessions or small groups.
I am now doing clinics at Hurstwood Farm Equestrian Centre, Holiday Cottages & Camping in Crowbrough E Sussex TN22 4AN. With the Racewood Eventing and Dressage Simulator.
"The Professor"-For those not familiar, he is a state-of-the-art Eventing and Dressage simulator made by Racewood, the world’s leading designer and manufacturer of Equestrian Simulators. As The Professor is a simulator his paces may feel slightly more expressive, he has the ability to help riders learn flying changes, leg-yield, shoulder-in and even half halts. He can also Show-jump through a grid or around a course. Plus he can go cross country through a huge variety of technical elements at different levels of difficulty. ALL riders, from any discipline, benefit from this training by focusing on improving their awareness of what their own bodies are doing. This can be achieved through practicing transitions between the paces. By fine-tuning the rider’s balance, postural awareness, contact and correct application of the aids, The Professor has played a pivotal role in progressing rider development and bolstering confidence both in and out of the saddle.
Emma a BD and BHS Coach and Personal Trainer specialising in Riders and a TESTT cert Coach in will work with you on and off the horse to help develop your body awareness and improve balance, symmetry and straightness.
Sessions are open to all levels of riders or riders rehabbing post injury or operations.
You can also bring your own horse and have a lesson afterwards with Emma and put all you have worked on into practice.

Wow what a fantast and busy few days. The weekend I was coaching the BD South and East Youth Team at the Home Nations in Wales, a fantastic awesome team, who all showed such support to each other. With a 2nd place in a huge Team competition and so many wins as individual riders. A very proud and happy coach.
Then Monday to Wednesday a super few days with the East Kent Pony Club at Breach Barn EC. A great fun camp where all the riders worked so hard to improve and develop as riders and improve their horses way of going. Well done to everyone.
An easy day today before another busy weekend with clinics and judging at Blindley Heath Horse Trials.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. First weekend away was as Team Coach for the British Dressage - South & East Region Youth team for the Inter Regionals at Arena UK. A great fun weekend and all the rider's and their horses/ponies were fantastic and some great results achieved. It was especially lovely to have my gorgeous boy Iambic M there being ridden by Moya and they got a fantastic result at B Squad.

This weekend I was with British dressage Sussex team for the Inter County Challenge at Bury Farm Equestrian Village the weather was really awful but Team Sussex💙 were awesome we finished in a brilliant 4th place with a win in the Prelim for Xanthe Gould.
