Expert Panel

I have recently been asked to answer reader queries about training horses for fun and competition by Horse Magazine and Your Horse Magazine. I enjoyed responding to the questions and offering suggestions about ways to approach the challenges the riders were facing. It's always interesting to take a step back and consider a training issue and work out some solutions. As a coach it's good to think about different exercises and the reasons for including them in training as well as ways to introduce them to a horse & rider for the first time. 

I have also enjoyed acting as a product tester and can report that the cooler rug is still going strong and deserved it's Best in Test! 

Fun times in July

Jack and I continue to work happily together - I'm sure it's the support team we have that keeps him content and interested in his ridden work and training. The storms have passed at last and we enjoyed the summer sunshine this evening. With our elementary music regionals qualification achieved and our area festival medium notifications arriving today there is a lot to look forward to. Not least designing new music routines for the next levels and Your Horse Live.
This week we have had special guests from Your Horse Magazine who came to report on a couple of lessons, Nicola and Laura rode really well and I'm looking forward to seeing the articles and iPad edition when they are published.
