This clinic may take place indoors or outdoors depending on the weather.

PLEASE ENSURE YOU ARE READY FOR YOUR CLINIC TIME AS WE HAVE A VERY BUSY DAY.  IF YOU ARE LATE, YOUR LESSON MAY BE SHORTENED!!

This clinic is suitable for anyone who wants to have a go at Working Equitation.  Whether you are a complete beginner, never seen the equipment or whether you are a seasoned competitor.  The sessions are also to be enjoyed by those that just want something different to do with their horse/pony.  

Please put in the notes on the entry a little bit about yourself and your horse/pony so that Katherine knows how to structure your lesson.  If you are sharing a lesson we will try to put you with someone of similar experience.

If you want to work on your flat work then it is better to book an individual lesson so that Katherine can spend time with you and your horse/pony.

If you want to do a pairs with a friend please BOTH put the other person's name in the NOTES section when you enter
