MINI JUMPCROSS COMPETITION with Course Walk

Saturday 28^th October 2017 – from 12.30pm

This date have been arranged to encourage riders who do not feel yet ready or comfortable competing at the usual JumpCross Competition Series. The competition element is much more low key and the course comprises around 10 fences over the JumpCross course at a maximum height of 2’0 (the joker option willl be slightly higher as is usual in the competition series). The round will be judged and timed and prizes in kind are offered.

The format of the day is that all riders are offered the opportunity to have a course walk with Emily Cullum prior to the competition so that knowledge on the optimum way in which to ride the course can be gained prior to their own competition round.

Open to all , you do not need to be a member of WARC or Jumpcross.

JumpCross Training

The excitement of cross-country teamed with the technicality of show-jumping, offering riders the chance to try something new safely.

Ideal for introducing horses to cross-country (including water), inexperienced riders or those lacking confidence. How far you go is up to you – even poles on the ground or simple x poles!

Groups will be a maximum of 5 riders of similar ability/experience/goals for the day.

Session duration: 1 ½ Hrs

Franklin Clinic with Claire Llewelyn

1st October

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 fascinating! 45 mins group session (no more than 4 people) £15 members, £20 non-members Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis with priority given to members. To book your place, please email Angela Lumsdon angelalumsdon@outlook.com with your Name, your mobile number and email and once you have been allocated a place, we will need payment by BACS Places and times can only be confirmed ONCE PAYMENT has been MADE BY BACS.
