In a coaching landscape where our industry is under more public scrutiny than ever, days like this are more relevant than ever before. Coaching the Process and Defining Success with Tim Downes FBHS gives coaches the chance to step back, reflect, and strengthen the foundations of good practice. Not through lectures, but through real horses, real riders, and real conversations.
Tim is a Fellow of British Horse Society, British Eventing Master Coach, BHS Chief Examiner, and an International 5 Event Judge*, with decades of experience coaching riders from grassroots through to elite level. He is also a British Dressage Master Judge, trainer and assessor, and an FEI Olympic Solidarity Trainer.
Tim’s coaching is clear, practical, and thoughtful, with a strong emphasis on developing the rider to improve the training and way of going of the horse.
Across six practical, discussion‑led sessions, Tim explores how empathy, balance, influence and the training scale shape effective, ethical coaching:
Session 1: Developing empathy through balance and understanding
Session 2: Developing basic influence & introducing the training scale
Session 3: Using the training scale to develop the way of going
Session 4: Applying the training scale & learning theory on the flat
Session 5: Developing rider skills for jumping
Session 6: Using the training scale & learning theory over fences
Each session blends live coaching with open discussion, giving you space to observe, question, and refine your own approach. It’s thoughtful, practical CPD designed to support coaches and aspiring coaches at every level.
This day is open to everyone and will count as 6 CPD points for BHS Accredited Coaches as well as accredited CPD for Pony Club Coaches.
