Michael Beining
July saw a very successful dressage clinic with international German trainer Michael Beining. This culminated with a three day clinic at Usk in Wales for a select group of Michael’s riders who were able to take advantage of both Michael’s experience and also German Grand Prix rider Andrea Leinker who sat on each horse beforehand and then gave feedback to the riders.
It was extremely informative for both spectators and riders and such was the success that it is hoped to run a longer clinic next year. The intention is to move it around different clinic organiser’s venues to allow spectators who were unable to travel to be able to attend.
Michael’s next clinic will be in October due to commitments abroad and we are looking to extend the amount of days he runs his clinic here due to the popularity of this clinic and also to allow riders the opportunity to have more lessons.
The next date will be announced in the next newsletter or alternatively, please e-mail us to be put on the list.
Richard Waygood
Richard Waygood will be taking the next jumping clinic on Sunday 4th September. We ask that riders please book in advance and your place will only be confirmed on receipt of payment.
Please note that this particular clinic looks set to be very busy so to avoid disappointment please book in plenty of time.
Late bookings will be accepted but only if there is space.
The Spoilt Horse Company
Over the next few months the new orders of rugs and warm clothing will start appearing in the tack shop. You may have noticed that we now stock a large range of cards, jewellery, fashion accessories and gifts. However, if you have something in particular you want to purchase for Christmas please let us know as to avoid disappointment. The suppliers are already looking at Christmas stock and as normal there will be a late flurry of demand for certain items. We operate a wish list so if there is something that you would like your loved one to purchase, please give us your list and we can then direct them to the items that you would like to receive.
Nutwell Saddlery
Finally, we are looking to organise for Nutwell Saddlery to come in for the day. If you would like your saddle checked over and re-flocked on site or are looking to purchase a new saddle please let us know so we can organise a date subject to numbers. We have also been approached about running a microchip clinic.
Again, if you would be interested in chipping either your horse or dog please let us know so we can arrange a date.

Fit to Ride Clinics
We are looking to commence the series of fit to ride clinics in September. The first interactive presentation was well received and there has been much interest in the other lectures.
We will be looking to run the safety one next which concentrates on the correct way to fall and how this will help in eliminating some of the fear that can be associated with horses.
If you are interested in attending please contact the office or e-mail asking to be kept informed on dates of the proposed clinics.
