....At my yard near Gatwick! 
So we held a coffee morning recently and got some brilliant feedback so we're planning to host lots more bits and pieces in 2015 but here is the first event!!
Horsemanship Clinic- Saturday the 17th of January 2015
For those of you that came to the coffee morning it will be expanding on the techniques discussed there giving you a chance to have a go yourself with your own horse and learn some new techniques too. There will be an opportunity to do some ridden work if you want to as well or you can expand on the ground work further if you'd rather.
The emphasis is on teaching the foundations of softness and control of feet as a basis for any horse both on the ground and ridden as well as working on handler/rider timing, softness, body language and feel. For those of you that haven't worked with Jim before he is an incredibly talented horseman with a wealth of experience in starting and training horses in both English and Western. As well as being an RA he is a UKCC Western coach and uses techniques from IH and English horsemanship with a healthy dose of cowboy skills to produce well rounded, soft and willing horses......So it will be a brilliant day!
Spaces are booking up already so email mary.chick@hotmail.co.uk if you're interested. We'd love to have a nice crowd of DGers
There will be some Western clinics in Feb including a Western taster day too which I will post details of later.
