British Racing School training visit

This morning we welcomed Richard Perham from the British Racing School to Chestnut Tree Stables for a session of yard-based rider training. The British Racing School provide this session free of charge and have a mobile facility which enables them to bring their training to individual yards. 

Five members of staff were able to benefit from the visit, where they worked on improving their riding style on the mobile simulator.

The staff involved had a brilliant time and found the experience extremely beneficial - we would like to pass on our thanks to the British Racing School for organising the event, with special thanks to Richard Perham for his enthusiastic and engaging approach!

 

Here's what some of our staff thought of the session in their own words:

Charlotte Dziadosz:

"I felt that the training session this morning was very useful - it helped me to work on my style and focus on getting lower in the saddle and being able to push the horse forwards. We had riders of varying levels in the group and Richard was able to tailor the training to each of us individually, which was brilliant!"

Charlotte Clayton:

"It was a really good refresher for me, the instructor was very friendly and engaging and made the whole session very enjoyable! It was good to watch videos back of our riding and assess it together to see where improvements could be made."

Lauren Hall:

"The instructor was very friendly and helped put us at ease, he had some helpful advice on riding skills which I will definitely implement in my riding going forwards. Richard made the whole session easy to understand."
