Joni Bentley's southern teacher training course is just starting at Hadlow College in Kent on the 17th December. I watched her prelim day last month, it was amazing. There was an advanced event trainer who had inherited a fab horse because he had to be pulled out of work due to undiagnosed physical problems. The rider was already fab but the horse completely transformed from a frightened uncomfortable horse to a floating happy proud one by incredibly simple exercises in one session. There was also a 2 list two judges, Grandprix rider and grass roots riders. It was really amazing to see how each horse and rider switched on and how dramatically both horse and rider's posture change in such a short time with such simple kind logical exercises. If you live close enough to Hadlow you can visit the course to watch for the day and only costs £25. She is really onto something big!!
