2011 Safety and Performance Workshops

These Workshops have been designed to improve rider knowledge and awareness, which
alongside technical ability are the main ingredients to a safe, happy and successful
season. They are an ideal pre-season training session aimed at developing confidence in
horse and rider.

Indoor Workshops
These full day courses start with a practical course walking session of simmulated XC fences. This looks at many of the technical aspects of XC such as distances, curving lines, skinnies, angles, corners and related distances.
The ridden session focuses on the balance and rhythm of horse and rider whilst negotiating technical fences, distances and curving lines.
This years 2 1/2hr theory session looks at Sport Phycology with Charlie Unwin who will be helping riders to achieve their performance goals. We will also be working with riders to assess their horses stride length to improve combinations and related distances. Horse fitness, new rules and doping regulations will also be covered. Again for 2011 we have a new XC rider analysis DVD.
This fully informative day caters for individual needs and offers the rider a point of
contact for any other problems that arise through the competitive season.
