Level 1 Confidence Booster Series of Courses- These are aimed at riders who would like to gain more confidence in some aspects of their riding. It is not just novice riders with their own horse who will get a huge amount out of these courses; more experienced riders who may have a single aspect of their riding (eg. Jumping or hacking) where they feel they would like to be more confident will also benefit. The courses are designed to provide the right level of support and tuition so that the rider goes home brimming with confidence in their new found skills. All the courses at this level are 2 days long and are held at a weekend, with arrival on the Friday evening.
COURSE INFORMATION
Have you ever wished you could just have a go without being out of your depth and without being forced to jump higher than you are comfortable with? If so then this is the course for you. Focus is on developing a secure position and riding a good approach firstly in trot, and then in canter when (and if) you feel ready! The rider's awareness and control are all important here, so that both you and your horse learn to enjoy jumping without either fight or fright! Starting with pole work and building up from there, everyone can make improvements on this course. Fence height is totally dictated by you, so no need to worry about being asked to do more than you feel ok with.
COURSE FORMAT
The timetable for this course begins at 8.15 on the Saturday morning with theory and dismounted practice, followed by a private lesson, which is partly videoed, then video feedback plus question and answer session in the class room. The same format is followed on the Sunday, with the opportunity to ride a small course if desired. The course will finish at 5pm.
