Show Jumping is an art form any way you look at it. Sometimes not attractive and sometimes devastatingly appealing. What sense does it appeal to … sometimes no sense at all? What it does take is practice, guts, determination and above all patience to succeed in creating a bond, a partnership of mutual understanding trust and love! Without it, jumping can very difficult! This sport takes commitment on the rider, horse and those that financially back it, as it is not cheap! Above all dedication and tenacity will indeed see you triumph so long as you believe in yourself, your talents and those that teach you!

The first year: generally practical, putting everything in the right place, position, balance and rhythm principals The second year: theory and practical, developing style, rhythm and the elements of form and technique Third year: theory, rhythm, ring craft technique, style and accuracy Training is reassessed after the third year depending on the horse and rider achievement level. The program is geared towards jumping with classic dressage foundations. Training takes time, dedication, drive, persistence, persistence and persistence. Should you want to ride socially and hack in the arenas, or ride in the countryside, or just gallop up hills … we do that too, a lot of it and have fun doing it!  Eventing Clinics Summer 2007
