Hey all, I'm fairly new to this forum, but was wondering if anyone could advise. I have an 8 year old SJing gelding in Belgium. He is super talented, but still very green as we left him a couple years extra before really breaking him in because he was still growing, then unfortunately he had a year off due to injury. He is going well again now and we've started competing him in small classes to get competition experience. My brother, his rider, has started uni in england this year, and we have been fortunate enough to have a fantastic coach who has been riding him for us in the meantime. The trouble is that as winter is coming, the ground at our yard will freeze, and there isn't an indoor school. As he is finally under way, we'd like to keep him in full work over the winter, and as we have to move him somewhere, we are seriously considering bringing him to england between the end of the christmas holidays and the start of easter, for about two months. We would like to place him somewhere with a professional who could bring him on during that time. He has loads of tallent, and we would be looking for someone to bring him on gently over that time. Somewhere within a couple hours of london would be preferable as that way my brother can go and see him, and get trained on him possibly on the weekends.

So, I was wondering if there were any names and contact details of people that anyone knows and would recommend. I'm not set on it being a sjer specifically, a good eventer would also be a good option, most important is that he is in safe hands with a competent rider who can help him progress.
Thanks, Alex
 
I cannot recommend Sebastien Poirier at Norwood Farm enough, I am based at his yard and he rides and competes my horse. He is based in Cobham, Surrey (about 45 minutes from Central London, easily accesable on publilc transport).

Not only does Sebastien ride beautifully, my horse is so well cared for on a day to day basis.

His website is http://www.sebastienpoirier.co.uk/

If you want any more information PM me.

Firstly, if he is going to be a SJer then I would send him to an SJer and not to an event rider.

Secondly, where is your brother based? I think it is imperative that your brother has a hand in the production, whether it is a lesson a week/fortnight/month, so he knows how the horse is being produced, and so that the horse is not confused when he is handed back :)
