About the Event
Following the success of our summer Groundwork Clinics, we invite you to join us at Home Farm (CV35 9HJ) on 29th & 30th October for our next Gymnastic Training weekend.
The focus of the weekend is to improve your knowledge of the elements required to SAFELY train YOUR horse ‘gymnastically’. I aim to enable you to identify/feel where is ‘enough’, and learn that less is more than enough when it comes to postural muscles!
We will aim to cover:
• Appropriate use of transitions
• Appropriate use of lateral work
• Appropriate use of proprioceptive work
• Appropriate strength & conditioning work
Suitable for all levels, the weekend will consist of:
• 1 shared Groundwork Training session
• 1 shared Ground Pole-work Training session *
• 1 individual Riding session *
• 2 theory sessions **
• Overnight Corral included
*Suitable pole exercises only; no Christmas tree shapes or other fancy inappropriate nonsense. Poles will be omitted if deemed inappropriate on the day.
**Don’t worry, they won’t be boring!
Investment: £175 per participant (EARLY BIRD PRICE OF £150 UNTIL 5th October)
