East Midlands people - Winter Training Series

[icestationzebra]

I'm looking into trying to set something up for this winter. Something to keep me motivated and learning through the 'dark' months. I know there are a few of us in the East Midlands - if you had the choice who would you like a session with and why? The thinking is to run a series with different trainers - something for everyone at all levels. Fun really - might even look at a sideline of mulled wine

Thoughts?

 

[goldypops]

Sounds absolutely fab idea but sadly I have no transport

Would have loved to have done something like that to get me motivated to actually do something next year!

 

[volatis]

having just found out the boss wants me to keep her 'orrible beast ticking over, over the winter, it would be nice to get some training on him as I know my riding could do with eyes on the ground! I'm in South Lincolnshire but would be flatwork only for this horse.

 

[kerilli]

count me in, if i have anything sound...!

 

[Fleur100]

We would be interested too, mainly with youngsters...

 

[meardsall_millie]

I'd probably be interested with my youngster too. Flat/jumping.

 

[SAL66]

Yes me too , flatwork for me, but my new horse jumps like a stag and is built for speed , so perhaps I would also be interested in seeing someone to perhaps investigate this avenue for me, I no longer have the bottle for jumping.

The lady from the National Saddle Company thought he would make an excellent eventer as he is so bold! - wish I was .

I am in south Derbyshire but willing to travel obviously within reason.

I would like to have a session with a good known dressage trainer who would really push our buttons, but not look down their nose at us if you know what I mean to give me guidance etc.

I know Alice Beasley does it at her yard near Kniveton not sure what she would be like though.

A great idea though.

I'll keep you posted K - how are the ponies?

 

[icestationzebra]

You never know - there are some very nice people on here that might be able to help you if they were coming the same way... whereabouts are you?

 

[goldypops]

Hi, I'm a 10 miles north of derby, if anyone is nearby??

 

[nikki_07766]

i'd be intrested. i'm just north of boston.

 

[milz88]

I'd be interested but not sure I am in East Midlands exactly.

 

[sueandtoto]

Would definatly be interested , flatwork or jumping , keep us posted

 

[KatB]

Sounds good

SGO says he would be interested too

 

[Ladyfresha1]

I would be up for that. I am on the Northants/Leicestershire border. I haven't had lessons for a while but I feel much more benefit training with and watching others. Mixture of flat work and jumping would be great. I need dressage work (it's not my thing - last dressage trainer made me hurt!).

Great idea!

 

[dwi]

Me too, I'm in south derbyshire as well. Don't mind what discipline, we need all the help we can get

 

[EventingMad]

I would be very interested as well.
Need all the help i can get!

 

[skye123]

i`m on the leicestershire/warks border and would be interested

what about somewhere like weston lawns or something?

 

[Fiona_C]

Definately interested, flatwork and if anyone wants to get my confidence up to start jumping again

Northants/Leics area.

 

[Horsemad12]

YES

But would be with a youngster and would have to be a weekend have no leave left!

Really would need to be Nov / Dec onwards as she (And I) are having a holiday in Oct.

I am Notts but I am happy to travel anywhere in the E.Mids. If a long way would prefer two sessions.

Any suggestions for trainers? are you thinking names?

 

[miller]

Definitely would have been as lorry almost sorted now but OH's mare did her tendon again last monday so no more riding career for her

and we can't take mine out and leave her behind else the stable will be trashed

 

[Heidi1]

Sounds a great idea, I would be interested with my lot...

 

[Jennypenny]

I would be interested too, do something with my 4year old. Its good for the young ones to get out, they all have to start somewhere! Im the Leics/Northants border.

 

[NewHeights_SJ]

I'd be interested with either of mine but esp for the youngster as she needs as much experience as possible this winter. Depending on time/date/location etc.... im in Northampton.

 

[icestationzebra]

Thanks everyone for your responses. I need to try and gauge if there are any particular trainers that would interest you so I can try and put a provisional programme together dependant on their availability so please throw some names or recommendations my way....

The venue is already set and is Notts/Leics/Lincs border. 10 mins from A1 / 5 mins from A52.

Thanks again

 

[Baydale]

Count me in. What about Kenneth Clawson or Tracie Robinson, both quite local and both very good trainers.

 

[kerilli]

i'll have two 3yr olds to work through the winter, so if nothing else i could bring them for an outing and a bit of flatwork.

 

[Horsemad12]

Is that Arena UK then?

 

[volatis]

location sounds good as we are 10 minutes from A1 too! be interested to see which trainers you line up

 

[Nickijem]

I would definitely be interested too IF I can find a trailer! Anyone got a IW510 or similar for sale?????
