Anyone able to recommend me some xc clinics? Or can advise me where best to look? Based near Oxford so ideally the closer there the better, am really struggling to find anything online but feel like they must be out there somewhere! Had a look at BE training and there's lots of showjumping and flatwork but barely anything in the way of XC unless I want to drive 50+ miles or have a go at the 1* ones :(
 
A good option might be to choose a good venue and then see if they have any trainers holding clinics there or ask which trainers have booked their course in the past to teach.

Also do you have a usual instructor for jumping?
It may be worth asking them as that will know you and your horse.

Also 50+ miles is pretty standard distance to travel.
Especially if you like to use a variety or courses.
 
Personally I never recommend clinics to anybody as I have seen some some very indifferent advice from some top names including one mega rider who totally ignores you if they dont like your horse its money wasted. Find a course and get a trainer for one on one it will be money better spent, in your area there are many very good trainers just because you compete at top level does not make you a good teacher. One of the best CC coaches of the last many years never rode .
 
The 50+ miles doesn't bother me personally however I'm currently relying on a non horsey parent for lifts, fine that distance for competitions bit not sure I'd be able to convince them for something that'd only last an hour!

Will definitely look into what you've said popsdosh, think that may be the best and most realistic way for me to go:)
 
Caron Roberts will teach at Rabson Manor or Boomerang. Also does clinics for Swindon RC which makes it a bit cheaper. Not far from M4.
 
Ian wills is excellent and you wont stop laughing ,hes not far away and is regularly at Lyneham heath. He Wont BS you!!
 
Owen Moore is regularly at Lyneham Heath and is fab. I'm currently looking for clinics at venues in a similar area that aren't Lyneham (been a few times recently) so will let you know if I notice any!
