This involves learning about your horse, tack and how to ride. As we only walk on our horses this is best suited for beginners and people wanting to regain confidence. Your lesson will be with Yolande (jnr), who has coached for Moray RDA and Cairngorms RDA. One of her students has recently won 2 Gold Medals at the Special Olympics held in Abu Dhabi. Yolande has also trained with world leading coaches from all disciplines, including Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing. She has also worked with many saddle fitters and tack experts, which will give you an in-depth knowledge of what tack to use and why we use it in the equine world. In her lessons she focusses on building strong foundations both in looking after your horse and your riding technique. These foundations will set you up for life, whether or not you want to be involved in the Equine Industry or just do it as a hobby. Just recently, since the mini staff are now much older, Yolande has had more of an opportunity to be competing down in England. Riding some top class event horses and showjumpers, with thanks to her old college friends who compete their horses on a regular basis. She has been working with Tom King, a well known International Show Jumper, and was on the GB SJ team. Yolande feels it is important to always be willing to learn. Competing in England is truly allowing her to be in the centre of the Equestrian world, with some of the most experienced and knowledgeable people, with new ideas and technology, all at her finger tips.
