Improve Your Teaching Techniques
This is a clinic for both riders and trainers. It is designed to strengthen your skills as a trainer by improving the following: -
1.Your eye
2.Your approach to the pupil
3.Your training exercises
4.Your flexibility with difficult/ green horses
5.Psychology of the rider
6.Your understanding of biomechanics- how the rider
affects the horse in motion
7.The rider's position
8. Looking at the bigger picture, advising the client on
nutrition/ exercise routine
This will be an interesting, interactive clinic. We will have guinea pig riders who we will demonstrate with, and all participants will also take part in the training of these riders. Philippa trains her horses and riders using the Dutch training system, also practised by number one in the world, Anky Van Grunsven. This clinic gives all participants the opportunity to gain insight into one of the best training methods in the world.
It doesn't matter what level you're at, whether you're an established trainer, or someone who has never taught a lesson in their life! There will be benefit for all.
