The combined training clinic and competition held in August was very successful. This is something we will probably repeat next year. The blend of clinic followed by the competition 2 weeks later was appreciated, particualry as you could attend one and not the other, and on the competition day could do only dressage if you felt still not quite up to competing!

Liz West Dressage /Flatwork Clinics are always highly appreciated by those who attend, and speaking for myself, I have found her help and guidance invaluable and enjoyable. Get in touch! If you have a test you want to practice for or have an issue that needs a bit of help, the one to one clinic environment is perfect.

STUFF FROM ELSEWHERE …..

This summer Battle ran a first aiders training session at Marsham Farm courtesy of Nick and Alison Jones. These days there are increasing numbers of legislative rules and regulations that as a club we must fulfil. Our objective was to have a number of qualified first aiders who can be called upon to attend low risk events we run where there is no real requirement for paramedics or StJohns Ambulance to be there.
The costs involved with St Johns or teams of paramedics is very high, and whilst we would always have them in attendance at cross country or higher risk events, we felt that qualified first aiders would be quite competent to manage at low key dressage or clinics.
The session lasting 3-4 hours with lunch, was very well done, with 10 attendees. So Battle can now cover this important area with confidence – with the added benefit of saving the Riding Club some considerable amounts of money!

The aim is for friendly approachable help for the mature rider with easy to read course material.
