Richard kindly drives down from
Yorkshire to spend the day teaching at Ferry Farm once a month.
Richard is immensely popular
with everyone from novice riders just learning to jump to
those highly competitive and affilliated riders. He is particularly
popular with nervous riders due to his unique ability to calm
and encourage them to progress without exceeding their ability.
A basic clinic starts with trot
poles and then canter poles to a fence to help the rider with
their striding, to understand the need and gain the ability
to lengthen and shorten your horses stride and to build confidence
in horse and rider. Once you have atteded clinics with Richard,
the time spent on these exercises is shortened as you improve
your technique and knowledge.
The second part of the clinic
is spent working over the full show set of jumps which will
include related distances and doubles as well as various fillers.
During this time you ll utilise your lessons from the pole
work to improve your ability over a course. The clinic will
end working on any areas of the course that caused you problems.
Clinics are usually taken as
a shared session between two people, lasting one hour (don't
worry if you are coming alone as we will try to pair you with
someone of a similar standard).
The costs for these sessions
are £35 per person for FFRC Members or £40 per
person for non-members (Liveries at Ferry Farm only pay £30).
Private sessions can be arranged,
these will be shorter in length.
These clinic days usually fill
up very quickly so please ring 01603 721 794 as early as possible
to book your clinic.
Further Training Clinics are
currently being planned in both dressage and show jumping.
These would either be either on a group basis, or individualy
tailored.
Further details and dates will
be announced nearer the time.
