May Newsletter

The Better Rider Club is in full swing at the moment with the 3rd session coming up this week. During the April session, the sun set as we discussed confidence and how self-judgement affects this, as well as how to build a plan for positive progress. Don’t forget, if the club isn’t for you, you can access the whole course as an online program via my website: https://www.withthehorse.co.uk/onlinecourses 

Clinics are starting to happen thick and fast. The next open clinic a Flaxbourton is 31st May, where there are obstacle sessions (on the ground or ridden) for 1 hour or ridden sessions for 90 mins. There is also South Devon Riding Club session this Saturday at Flaxbourton for members - entries close for that on 7th May.

Hugo at a recent dressage competition

On a personal note, I am looking forward to studying with Elsa Sinclair later this month, when Hugo and I travel to Ayton PRE in North Tawton for a 4 day clinic. Spectator spaces are still available  https://www.facebook.com/AytonPRE 

Finally, I wanted to say thank you for all your kind messages following the loss of our beautiful dog Reuben. He really was part of the family and we miss him terribly. Your words have really helped me x

Take Care
