There’s a lot to learn…
.
Did you know that throughout our residential course the trainees wear an ear piece so they can receive instruction whilst riding. Not only is this a great way to learn and react to what’s happening with the horse you’re on, it also improves the safety for both horse and rider.
.
As well as this, on the straight gallop, our instructors drive alongside the gallop delivering instructions and then pass on additional feedback when they’re walking home (pictured). Riding a racehorse at speed is a skill that takes training and practice

We’re delighted to announce that today we were awarded the “excellence in Safeguarding award” at the SAFEcic conference

It’s hump day but more importantly for us it’s WellDoneWednesday!
