Last year, our courses proved very popular, so we will be holding more this year…. Take a look below and book your place early.

We’d like to invite you to an informative evening lecture entitled “Take the Well-being of Your Horse to the Next Level” it will include introduction to core stability of the horse and rider, massage and rehabilitation. As you can see a lot to cover!!

There will be a £5 admission fee but all proceeds are to go to charity split between the RDA and Zoe’s Place a charity providing respite care for young children. This will be a great opportunity to meet the team and should be a fun and enlightening evening for everyone
