COACHING and TRAINING PHILOSOPHY
We don’t just teach we coach – our aim is to develop a rider’s skills and awareness. Encouraging you to be independent in your riding by providing the opportunity to experiment and develop your own understanding. We want you to want us but not need us – we want you to be confident and to thrive and be the best you can be.
We will give you time where necessary to process any learning, and we will help you navigate a way to deal with your nerves and fears. We are understanding and work hard to match an individual’s specific needs and capabilities. We know that home and work life can affect our riding and we will offer you support when the going gets tough.
We make long and short term goals so dreams can become a reality. We help develop your own fitness, mobility, posture and balance. We offer a variety of skill sets including in-hand work using TRT methods, postural/balance training using our dressage simulator, body conditioning and strengthening for horse and rider. In addition, we can cover identification of rider asymmetry using the TESTT process, Kinesiology taping and pole work to aid the horse’s gymnastic ability.
Horses and riders of all levels and disciplines are welcome, our methods include gymnastic work using poles and jumps, hacking and of course schooling & focused training up to GP level with Nicola.
