I think probably Ulla for dressage..... watched her demo at YHL, and i think shed be great, plus i wouldn't argue back at her!
Showjumping, it would have to be Tim Stockdale
DR - happy with current instructor - [removed]
SJ - Yogi. Had a lesson with him back in 2000 and he transformed both me and my then eventer.
XC - Probably Lucinda
I am probably the sad one. If money was no object then I woould like the odd clinic from some names i.e. WFP, Yogi etc BUT really I am more than happy with my present group of instructors who give me all the help I need. I just wish I could afford more lessons with them all.
If I had the money then I would try them all and see who got the best results before deciding. Just because they have a name it does not mean that you will click with them. For the minute though Im very happy with who I am with.
the problem i have with so called names are that some are lossy trainers, brilliant riders, but for imparting useful information and teaching mmm....
but in saying that, i would love:
Luncida Green - xc
Yogi -sj/xc
Adam Kemp - dressage
Di Lampard is extremely nice as well as being, I believe, an excellent trainer. Of course Tim Stockdale is good - straight talking and expects 100% effort from pupils.
Gill Watson was certainly a fine eventing trainer - don't know how much she does these days.
Mine would have to be James Burtwell. Used to work for him and he (among others) turned me from a happy hacker, with absolutely no natural talent whatsoever and hadn't jumped for about 10 years, to a BHSAI in 6 months!
He is a Regional Chairman for BYRDS now I think. He is an excellent rider and trainer and speaks in a language mere mortals can understand.
Only wish I was in his area as would def have as many lessons as possible with him!
Would still have lessons with my instructor as she's brilliant and we're on the same wavelength. Plus, even though it's at a RS, still need £40 to have a lesson with her
Then probably Lucinda Green or Mary King
Am very lucky though that my main 3 instructors are all trained by those at the TTT regulalry and this feeds into my lessons.
Oh and random fact - Char Lassetter is about 20mins from me
I would love to have some lessons with Ingrid Klimke I just think she is a beautiful rider especially in dressage. I would love to have a lesson with Kenneth Clawson for SJ.
