Thursday 19th August
Evening Pole and Grid work Training with Roz Snook at Leigh House Farm, Bradford-on-Avon.
Roz Snook is an ex advanced event rider who trained with Dot Willis (Ginny Elliot’s famous trainer), Leslie Law and Bill Noble. She is sympathetic and has a quiet, confidence giving approach.

Groups will be split on ability so please state height you feel confident jumping when you book.

Wednesday 1st September
Evening Test Riding Clinics with Anne Roberts at Leigh House Farm, Bradford-on-Avon.
We are offering test riding clinics where you will ride your test, have feedback from the judge and then ride your test again with the aim to improve on areas discussed. This clinic is a great chance to understand what judges are looking for in your test and to discuss any comments on your test sheet that you are unsure about. Anne is an experienced judge and instructor who regularly judges at our shows. You will be grouped according to the level you are riding.
Tests: Walk and Trot A, Prelim 7, Novice 27, Elementary 44.
Groups of 3 - 75min session. £16 per rider.
Saturday 18th September
Ride with your Mind Clinic at Leigh House Farm, Bradford-on-Avon.
Would you like to learn how to sit correctly to positively influence your horse? Would you like more 'feel'? The way you sit has a profound influence on your horse, and for each little change that you make, he changes too. Ride with your mind focuses on your posture as a rider and how everything you do in the saddle affects the way your horse moves. Sessions will be one-to-one with Dorothy Marks who has trained and qualified with Mary Wanless. She will instruct you on the subtle differences your seat can make to you, and your horses, performance.
Riding slots include a 45 minute riding session on your own horse, lunch, the afternoon workshop and a safe area to tie/stable your horse for the day. £45
Spectator slots include viewing of the morning demos, lunch and the afternoon workshop session. £10 these slots are also open to non members.
There are only 4 riding slots available for this training day and limited spectator spaces so book ASAP!
