Advanced Riders in the West Midlands and Warwickshire Area

[JJ1987]

I'm trying to come up with some ideas to revamp my riding school and am looking to contact some top riders to come and perhaps give some demos or even clinics at the school. Just looking for contacts now so if anyone knows of anyone in the West Midlands and Warwickshire area who would be willing to do this sort of thing I would love to hear from you!

Hi, In Lichfield here is Dag Albert, he is in the swedish event teams etc. He often gives clinics at Eland Lodge and at Ponyclub I'm sure he'd love to help!

Why dont you try offering local pony clubs to host there? Or if you can infiltrate and find out what instructors they use that probably will give you a good idea of some specialist instuctors in the area. I think why not try offering a horseball/mounted games event or simillar a "come along and try it?"

Miles Pearson-Bromsgrove
Mandy Kent-C/O SRC she does a damn good jumping clinic.
Really famous.....Ferdi Eilberg at Pink Green
The wonderful Mr Lee Pearson-Staffs way

I'd happily hnd over hard earned to be taught by any of those!

Maybe see if any local uni riding clubs would be interested in having lessons or holding team competitions there?

O I'm loving the extra ideas guys, that's really helpful. We're looking at ways of attracting new custom as well as keeping current customers happy. Trying to find ways to use what we have already to the full advantage. Got lots of land, 40 x 60m outdoor arena, 20 x 40 indoor arena, show jumps, small cross country jumps so plenty to work with. Any ideas people are willing to put forward would be most appreciated

Ah my friend used to to ride at your yard! Your not that far away from me, I`d suggest "different" things that people may not have tried before like horse ball, polo etc maybe? If you contact Donna Allen she sometimes will come to yards to give horse ball clinics etc as I was going to organise one for my yard Could you do something like Jump Cross, think this would be very popular I dont live around that area any more but go back regularly to see the parents/friends so if you do posters etc I can get them put up on my old yard/friends yards

I think Sarah Stretton is close to you, don't know if she does any clinics or anything like that.
