Schooling Liveries Success at Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre
🐎Merlin-
Merlin came to us to improve his confidence both within the arena environment and over fences. Throughout his schooling period, he was exposed to a variety of exercises designed to develop more trust in his rider, improve his understanding of ridden aids, and build his confidence over different types of fences. Consistent, progressive training allowed Merlin to become more settled and willing in the arena, showing increased all round confidence. By the end of his stay, he demonstrated a more confident mindset towards schooling and was more relaxed and assured in his work.
🐎Rum-
Rum arrived as a nappy pony whose behaviour was limiting his young rider's ability to enjoy and participate in local competitions. The focus of his schooling programme was to establish consistent manners under saddle, improve responsiveness to rider aids, and encourage a willing attitude towards work. Through patient and structured training, Rum learned to move forward willingly, became more attentive to his rider, and developed better overall behaviour in a variety of situations. Significant progress was made in reducing napping tendencies, resulting in a more reliable and enjoyable pony suitable for his young rider to enjoy with increased confidence.
🐎GP-
GP came without any existing behavioural concerns but required additional education for his young rider to feel confident and be a quiet and safe pony. Particular emphasis was placed on traffic training making sure he was patient waiting for vehicles, as well being sensible and controllable in open spaces. GP was exposed to a range of traffic situations and hacking environments, showing his ability to keep a relaxed and sensible attitude. Throughout his schooling, he was willing and straightforward on the flat and over fences, showing an excellent attitude to be a safe and trustworthy pony in the arena as well as hacking both on roads and in open countryside.
We would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of the owners so far who have entrusted us with their horses on our new additional venture during their schooling livery stay at Witherslack Hall Equestrian Centre. It is a privilege to work with each horse as an individual, helping them progress in their training, confidence, and overall way of going. Seeing the improvements they make during their time with us is incredibly rewarding, and nothing means more to us than receiving positive feedback from happy owners who can continue to enjoy their horses at home.
We take great pride in providing a professional, supportive, and tailored approach to every horse that comes through our yard, and we are always delighted to see both horse and rider benefit from the training received.
