TRAINING
Fun and useful!
All training sessions are relaxed affairs geared to the needs of the horse and rider partnership. Because they are low key it is extremely unlikely to attract an audience! So don’t hold back. If you do want to join in but can’t do the date get in touch and we’ll be happy to make alternative arrangements. Don’t forget that you need to wear hard hats (for everything) and body protectors for cross country (whatever the level.) See the website for guidance on this. Don’t forget if you want us to arrange a particular trainer to do clinics – CAN DO!
IMPORTANT
NOTICE
Back protectors should be worn at all times for X country riding
and are recommended for show jumping. Hats must be manufactured
to specification EN1384, PASO15, or prefixed with ASTM or SEI as
the minimum standard allowed. BSEN14572 is the next standard to
be introduced, which is intended to run alongside EN 1834.( Greater
protection is considered to be offered by prefixes PAS & ASTM.)
When mounted, everyone must wear a correctly adjusted and fastened
hat.
Dressage to Music Clinic
Is anybody interested in joining
in with a proposed clinic to get started on this?
As you
probably know we have a couple of DM superstars – Lorraine
and Jenny – and
we thought it might be good if we did a clinic ourselves
to start with to start people off, before getting a ‘proper’ trainer
in(!!!!)
I think a lot of us are daunted by how to start – what
comes first – what
music should I use etc etc so firstly I am asking for
people who would like to join in to stick their hands
up.

Bonfleur Cross Country Course, Linton Nr. Maidstone, is open 7 days
a week for schooling. www.bonfleurcrosscountrycourse.co.uk
They have a wide range of obstacles ranging from 1’6
to 3’6. New fences for this year include the bank complex, with routes
across it to suit 2’, 2’6 and 3’6 levels. They now have
over 70 fences including plenty of combination fences, banks and 5 ditches.
The course is well suited for tuition with large parts of the course being
in view from one position.
