Dressage for Beginners Day Clinic
Further dates TBC.
For non-members who would like to step into the world of dressage!
Do you want to have a go at dressage but not sure where to start or what to expect? Come and join us for an introductory day clinic that will cover everything from what to wear, what to do on the day, what the judge is looking for and scoring explained. The day will include a one hour un-mounted introduction, refreshments, and a one hour flatwork lesson, the chance to ride a test in front of a judge followed by an un-mounted question and answer session with the judge.
You will be in groups of three, £25 per rider.
Please tell your friends about this training session as it will be a great opportunity to make the world of dressage seem a lot less scary!
Ride with your Mind Clinic
Sat 11th Feb Ride With Your Mind training at Leigh House Farm with Dorothy Marks Groups of 2 £15 each person
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 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.
For all of the above training sessions contact Naomi Carter 07734 256553 or email nomecarter@hotmail.co.uk
