Showing instructors. Do they exist?

[benson21]

We are looking for someone who can give us some showing instucton, so we are not just picking odd bits up as we go along.
I guess a riding instructor would be the first stop, but I was just wondering if anyone knew if specific showing instructors actually exist?

Where abouts are you based?

The BSPS have a list of trainers

Most of the horse producers give lessons as well, do depends on where you are as to who could help you.

Too far from me sadly or I would willingly have helped. I can't think off the top of my head of anyone in that area but if you rang the British Show Horse Association they might be able to help you with judges in that area who also teach.

Katie Jerram has been doing lots of showing clinics around the country this winter, not sure if she still has some or not but if you google her you will find her website which has lots of details.

Hope you find someone.
