TRAINING

Whatever level of dressage you or your horse are currently competing, we have both the facilities and experience to help you further.

Olympic rider and European Team Bronze medalist, Nicola McGivern is available for training and consultancy; whether you wish to have an assessment of your horse, long term training plan, or simply a one off lesson to help with an awkward problem.

Our clients comment on the simple methods and instructions used to explain what can be considered complicated problems.  They also benefit from the setting of competition goals and help getting over those competition nerves.

Nicola has helped many riders not simply focused on dressage, so why not bring your show jumper or eventer along for some flat work refreshers.

For your horse we have talented riders, directly supervised by Nicola, so you can rest assured that even if you are not able to be here yourself, your horse will be in good hands.  In addition, Nicola and her team are available to compete your horse at any level should you wish.

 

 

OUR METHODS

We believe that the welfare of the horse comes before all else; to that end we hope you will find our training methods and care systems to be of the highest level and we welcome any inspection.

Our training is always sympathetic to the individual horse; not simply a "one fits all" methodology, but more a realistic approach to the best a particular horse can achieve.

This understanding of limitations extends to the rider; we will not expect you to ride like a seasoned international, when your goal is purely to enjoy your ride at any level.  On the contrary, we seek to help you attain your goals, not ours! 

Nicola is proud to have trained riders and horses placed at International level, those competing at Grand Prix and the highest placed Junior and Young Rider at the European Championships, but equally enjoys training those just starting out.
