Solid foundation

The event, designed for riders of all levels and disciplines, offers a unique opportunity to explore the benefits of groundwork, western riding techniques and dressage instruction for all riders. Often underestimated, groundwork forms the solid foundation upon which exceptional riding skills are built. By focusing on communication, trust, and establishing a deeper connection with your horse from the ground up, riders can unlock a world of enhanced responsiveness and precision in the saddle. Whether you aspire to excel in dressage, show jumping, eventing, or any other English discipline, the principles of groundwork can revolutionise your riding experience.

Additionally, western riding, with its distinct style and emphasis on balance, harmony, and softness, holds invaluable lessons for riders of all backgrounds. By delving into the art of western riding, English riders can broaden their horizons, deepen their understanding of horsemanship, and infuse their riding with newfound elegance and finesse. The combination of the two disciplines promises a holistic approach that nurtures a well-rounded rider, ready to tackle any challenge that comes their way.
