RIDE A BETTER TEST, GET A BETTER SCORESaturday 18th April
Saturday 16th May
Saturday 13th June
Confidence comes from practice. Research, and experience in the saddle, shows that repeating a skill at least three times significantly improves performance and long-term retention.
With that in mind, I will be running three consecutive clinics from April- June designed to help riders refine their tests, gain confidence, and see measurable improvement over time.
You are welcome to attend one, two, or all three sessions. There’s no obligation to commit to the full series. However, riders who prioritise performance improvement and long-term development will benefit most from consistent practice and feedback.
Learn skills on:
✅Mental rehearsal
✅Strategies to combat competition nerves
✅Tactics for test riding
✅Warm-up preparation
✅Reviewing your performance
Each session includes:
▪️Riding a full test in a supportive environment
▪️Immediate feedback
▪️ Strategies to improve accuracy, flow, and rider confidence
▪️A safe, encouraging space to learn and refine your performance
Session Options (50 minutes):
🐎 Semi-Private 💲75
Train with a buddy (maximum 2 riders) and receive supported feedback while learning from each other.
🐎 Private 💲95
Focused one-on-one feedback tailored to your individual goals
Whether you are preparing for competition or simply want to feel more confident riding your test, these sessions are designed to support real progress over time.
