Training
We’ve developed considerable expertise in delivering training in a wide range of support services for leisure riding. We run seminars, practical training days and group or one-to-one advisory sessions in several areas, including:
Map-reading: confused by all those lines and symbols on maps? We explain all about them, and show you how to use the Ordnance Survey maps - the finest in the world for enjoying our beautiful countryside.
Trailer-driving: we demonstrate how to manoeuvre those pesky horse trailers!
Business and event advice: we offer tailored advice on making websites and social media work for you and your businesses, running safe and professional horse events and on improving your product offer.
Look out for the sessions we run throughout the year, or ask us to put on a special event for you and a group of friends or your riding club or your business. We aim to keep our costs as low as possible - why not phone us for a chat? Tel: 07583 451825
