Another fab two day Dane Rawlins clinic here - what a coach!! 🌟
Thank you Dane for all your support to our regular clinic goers this year, and for the humongous effort of travelling to North Wales from West Sussex!
We really appreciate you! 👌🏻
See you in 2025!

So proud of client Alex Heaton and her horse Cosmo yesterday - this was their first ever effort at half pass!
In the lesson we worked on lateral work in walk to build on Cosmo’s suppleness, and then built his confidence to perform the moves in trot! And their first half pass effort was soooo good!
Although they are competing at Novice, mastering these movements, and having Cosmo react to a gentle leg for sideways movements will help strength and suppleness, and towards the higher levels.
Seen here in their @AviarSaddlesUK Aviar Saddles Rook having a lesson after a routine saddle fitting!!

Super well done to the Coffee Morning tribe who attended the fun session this morning - and enjoyed coffee and Bradley’s Banana Loaf afterwards, and the Flint & Denbigh Pony Club dressage riders this evening - doing a great job! Impressive improvements from all!
Well done on braving the cold! 🥶❄️#lovecoaching
Fabulous lessons with Maria Eilberg today ! Thanks Maria!

The official website update for British Equestrian UKCC Level 4 came through this week for our onsite coach Steph Bradley.
Only 51 equestrian coaches in the UK hold this qualification and it has been going since 2015.
Here is a little more about the programme from the official BEF website:
"The Level 4 qualification is for high-performing coaches with considerable experience and it involves an advanced syllabus of professional academic education".
"Level 4 coaches are visionary and knowledgeable decision makers who display exceptional skills and behaviours, and the highest professional and ethical standards. They advance their own and others' development, lead cutting-edge programmes or a specialist part of a programme, and make a positive impact on sport performance and behaviour".
"The Level 4 Coaching Certificate programme provides coaches with a Postgraduate Diploma (PG Dip) in Professional Practice in Sport Coaching and is designed to support and credit learning within the workplace. Forming an integral part of the British Equestrian Level 4 Coaching Certificate qualification for high-performing coaches, it has been created around work-based learning modules focused on skills, knowledge and understanding needed to develop professional practice as well as the ability to manage academic learning".
Steph has gone on to study an MSc in Professional Practice in Sports Coaching and is in the final few months of research - focusing on the impact of the menopause on riders.
Thank you to all who have contributed and supported this journey.
Steph is available for coaching here at Whitegate Farm - or will do a clinic offsite if sufficient demand! ☺️
