Jumping trainers- recommendations please

[millitiger]

now i have 2 definite horses to event next season after a few seasons out

i need some regular training and don't really know anyone around here.

based near Kidderminster/Worcs, v.easy to Jn 6 M5, and to M42/M40.

happy to go an hour up/down/across the country so quite a wide area.

want someone eventing minded, don't mind being screamed at!

will have one PN/Novice horse and one Intro/PN horse but i like quite technical lessons.

does anyone have lessons with Nigel Taylor at A-L-W? he is within reach.

thank you!

have heard nothing but good things about Nigel at A-le-W.
or, i'd have a look on BE's Accredited Trainers list for people close to you, and then ask for reports of them on here...!

another recommendation for nigel...

Karen Oliver is very good she is Bridgnorth way

 

[monkeybum13]

not sure if William Miflin at Cirencester is too far???
I've also heard Nigel is very good

 

[millitiger]

thanks for that, may be tootling down the motorway then!

i looked up the BE Accredited Trainers list but when you check out their own BE records a lot of them look pants and i like a teacher who can walk the walk as well as talk the talk.

How far is Stafford direction for you? Brook Staples is excellent.

 

[millitiger]

um, took about 1 hour to get to the Stafford event?

Brook and Jeanette are based in Uttoxeter so should be doable for you?

He won't scream and shout - in fact he is very quietly spoken with a dry sense of humour. Very very accurate and perceptive and his way of teaching allows the horses to understand the questions and get them working with you as a partner.

Erica Oldham is very good, UKCC level 3, a show jumper but works on everything. At the moment based with Nick Gauntlett in Gloucester but will travel.

Nigel has made an incredible difference to K and Baileys, both SJ and XC, and not silly money for a lesson either!

+1 for Nigel

I am having a jumping lesson with Ann Taylor this weekend, it'll be my first one with her
