Positive Riders by Josie Watson

I'm going to be insufferably proud of my horse for the rest of his life after this weekend ❤️ 2 qualifications in the bag for the big Petplan Area Festivals party and a win in the Medium 🤯🥹

Thank you to Caskieben Dressage and Coaching Ltd for patiently training us (and providing therapy) 😂 couldn't do it without you.

Obviously many people in the background helping us, including Jason Sim Farrier who went above and beyond to get us there this weekend when Joey removed his shoe on Saturday morning. And the amazing Perform Physio - Equine who keeps Joey feeling amazing.

MFS STUDFARM you bred a cracker 🎊

Well done to Gordon Dressage Group who ran one of the friendliest dressage shows I've experienced so far!

Robocob slots still available next month 🦄 focus on your position and biomechanics without having to worry about how the horse is influencing you. Honestly so fun and valuable for those looking to progress 💪

This year I will be back to doing a bit more coaching, message me to book in at your own yard (limited dates/times) or if you want to organise a clinic at your yard.

🥕 TRT method/groundwork for riding
💭 Confidence building (Centre 10 foundation coach)
🦄 Poles
💃 Dressage
🐎 Eventing prep

I still do my regular slot at Swanley Riding Club every fortnight on a Thursday evening and go to Pitforthie equestrian most months.

I am looking for help to organise a spook busting clinic and a confidence building focused clinic if anyone is interested and can help organise.

Message me for more info on dates or any questions.

Very excited to be hosting some sessions with Robo Cob on 11th March, I'll also be teaching in the afternoon at Swanley so you could work on your position with Robo Cob then have an afternoon session to put it into practice on your horse.

Does anyone fancy an analysis and goal setting session? This is something I do personally and love doing at this time of year even though it's cliche.

Off horse somewhere warm with a nice group. Comment below or message if this would be of interest!

Thank you to everyone who has trained with me this year! Hope you all are having an amazing festive period and happy new year when it comes.

Being trusted to give advice to you and your precious horses is the best feeling ever and something I never take for granted.

This year has been a funny one as I started competing more again and moved my day job but my coaching is still very much going to be continuing so I can't wait to have more breakthroughs with you all in 2023 🙌
