NEW COURSES FOR 2012
We are offering special 'Horse Confidence' courses here now. ( Please click button on left of the page for more info and prices).
The excitement of horses is a passion in the blood, but does your nervousness hold you back at all? Are rides spoiled at the thought of bucking, rearing, napping or jumping? Or would you just like to have that 'edge' to take your riding up to the next level?
We are in a unique position, as we have enjoyed many years of experience at the extremes of horse riding, performing jousting and trick riding shows around the world.
( see www.stampedestuntcompany.co.uk )
Now we can offer the use of our experience, our specially trained horses and our safe, professional facilities to offer a unique combination of techniques, activities and approaches to eliminate fear and stress- leading to horse-riding success, whatever your discipline!
We will provide a program of familiarisation - rearing, falling, balancing and rebalancing on the move, and even including falling horses - along with trying alternative saddles other than the common English Easy-out!
This is an opportunity that cannot be found anywhere else - unique and effective - but this amazing offer isn't finished yet! - Karl is a qualified Sports Hypnotherapist, and an unbeatable confidence hypnosis session is included in the course
DR.WHO TOUR
Karl Greenwood finished working with the BBC on Dr. Who Live 'The Monsters Are Coming!' tour playing a Cyberman, Ood, Scarecrow, Judoon and a Winder and the show was a great success!
Now he's back training horses here at the Centre.
