I’d love it if you could join me at my demo event at Benridge Riding Centre. Message to pre book your place and let me know what particular issue you and your horse would like help with.

‘Brilliant session, so informative and thoroughly enjoyed it’

‘Really interesting demo and lots to take away and think about with our own horses’

Building Strength from the Ground Up

Are you…
❓Feeling stronger on one rein than the other?
❓Struggling with balance, impulsion or straightness?
❓Concerned your horse keeps getting tight in the same places?
❓Wondering why you always have the same problems despite the lessons?
❓Wanting to use your time with your horse effectively?

Understanding why these things happen is the first step to improving them.

Join us for an interactive demonstration where we’ll explore how horses generate movement, how to identify strengths and weaknesses, and how posture, conformation and previous injuries can influence the way they move. We’ll also look at how horses develop “movement maps” (neuromuscular pathways), and how to use targeted in-hand work and polework to help build stronger, more balanced movement patterns.

My aim is far more than to help horses feel better today, it’s to help them move better for the long term. By understanding each horse’s individual strengths, weaknesses and movement patterns, we can build tailored programmes that improve strength, balance and performance while reducing compensation and the risk of recurring problems.

Whether you’re bringing a horse back into work, supporting an older horse, or simply wanting to better understand how your horse moves to improve their heath and performance, I’d love for you to join me.

Polite reminder for all our clinics and lessons

Cancellation Policy
We aim to get times out 2-3days before an event, in some cases earlier.
Once times have been issued because we have committed to the instructors time and arena hire, if you can’t attend you will still need to pay for the training in full unless the organiser has a wait list or you can find a replacement to fill your space.

Severe weather
In the case of very bad weather we will discuss with the instructor and if it is agreed that it would not be safe to go ahead or to travel horses we will cancel the course and give as much notice as possible. No payment is necessary.

BACS payments
If paying an instructor or arena hire by bacs please do so before the lesson with your name and date as a reference. This makes it much easier for everyone to keep track of their banking.

Many thanks for your understanding,
Benridge and all our instructors x
