Mentoring Dates 2020
Here you go folks
These are the dates for the next few months
You will notice a new name – Teresa Edmonds – we needed to find a new flatwork/dressage mentor as we sadly lost Jane Ellis due to her having so many other commitments that it was becoming harder and harder for her to commit the time to us too. Teresa is a British Dressage Level 3 accredited coach and is based in Wisbech. She has ridden and trained her own horse to Intermediate 1, and works with all levels from happy hackers to advanced dressage and eventing, nervous riders and/or horses. Some of our members have had lessons with her when they have attended BD training camps and rate her very highly and she is very friendly and helpful.
If any of you fancied a change and wanted to move to mentoring with Teresa, just let me know

Franklin Clinic with Claire Llewelyn-Sun 8th March 2020
Franklin Balls were developed in Germany by Dr Eric Franklin, originally to help sports people but they have now been developed to help Equestrians. I have attended a course to learn how these work and am now trained in their use. The balls are different sizes and shapes, either filled with air or water, which are used in different ways, for example under seat bones, thighs and armpits to help riders develop their balance, core strength, straightness and suppleness. They help identify areas riders need to work on, and also really show how the rider influences the horse’s way of going. We have found that horses become more forward, relaxed and straighter and riders become more ‘bodily aware’. It’s absolutely ...

DRESSAGE NEWS (Sorry it's a long one!):
The Area 7 qualifiers for Novice and Intermediate Dressage at Keysoe were cancelled yesterday due to Storm Dennis and have been rearranged over two dates at Grange Farm.
The Novice qualifier is on Saturday 29th Feb and I have some spaces in teams for 3 prelim test riders and 3 novice test riders over the age of 18. Please let me know by PM if you are interested ASAP. Cost is £17.
The Intermediate area qualifier is on Sunday March 15 and will be INSTEAD of our normal WARC competition (apologies again!). Entries are still open for this Area qualifier and the tests are P14, N30, N34 and E44. Please let me know ASAP by PM if you would like to enter. This is open to Juniors and Seniors. If there are enough of you I can enter another team, otherwise you would be competing as individuals. Cost £17 per test.
IMPORTANT INFO: As a Club, we do not select for our Area qualifiers and therefore anyone is allowed to enter and having it on our own soil is a great opportunity for people to have a try - so please consider entering!
However, please note that this is a BIG competition, organised and run by another club and may therefore not be as low key as our own. WARC pay an additional entry fee to BRC for each competitor and therefore we ask that by entering a qualifier, you are willing to travel to the Championship should you win! All competitors will be asked to help during the day in some capacity - this will be allocated to our club by the organisers and is a condition of entry. Finally, you need to be a member of WARC and your horse needs to comply with the BRC new vaccination rules (No boosters within 7 days of the competition and there must have been a booster within 6months and 21 days of the Comp)
Phew - i think thats everything!! Please ask if you have questions, are not sure or I've got something wrong!
