Flat work / Dressage
Roland places a strong emphasis on the Scales of Training during flat work lessons. These are the stepping of training and riders of all levels can use then to help evaluate their horses progression. They also form the basis of how dressage tests are judged. If you would like to set yourself a goal, Dressage Anywhere is an online dressage competition run in conjunction with British Dressage. You register and enter online. I will then film you ride your test, which will be uploaded. It will then be judged by a British Dressage. They will then email you a link to download and save your scoresheet.
Pole Work
Pole work offers benefits such as improved horse and rider balance, suppleness, strength, rhythm, focus, and engagement of hindquarters. It also builds trust, adds variety, and serves as preparation for jumping.
Roland runs regular pole work clinics which have larger pole work exercises set up often incorporating raised poles.
Show Jumping / Grid Work
Cross Country
Wether you are a novice rider looking to build confidence or an experienced competitor striving for excellence, Roland will work with you towards your goals while ensuring you are equipped with the knowledge and skills to navigate the cross-country course safely – learning how to understand the terrain, assess the risks and make sound decisions.
Private Lessons
Lessons will be tailored to you and your horse. You can work towards competition goals or just keep you and your horse focused while schooling. Why not try your hand at a 'Dressage Anywhere' test!
Group lessons
Why not get a group of friends together. Group lessons can be fun. You get to observe and learn from each other. Working around other riders in the arena will improve your riding ability and is a very good way of preparing for the warm up ring!
Competitive riders
As a qualified BHSII SC Roland can help riders working towards and competing at Medium level dressage, show jumping - Foxhunters and British Eventing Novice level.
Childrens Lessons
Roland has many years experience of teaching children. He ensures that lessons are fun and likes to use equipment to keep lessons varied.
Riding to keep fit
The connection between riding and physical fitness is undeniable. At times, having someone to motivate you beyond your limits is essential. A study conducted by the British Horse Society in 2011 highlighted that an hour of schooling or a group lesson could burn up to 360 calories, equivalent to an hour of pedaling at 10mph on a bike. This level of exertion can be classified as moderate intensity exercise.
BHS exam preparation
Having spent many years working within a BHS approved training centre, Roland is well placed to help with exam preparation for BHS stage 1, 2, 3, PTT and Riding and Road Safety exams, as well as Stage 4 and Intermediate Instructor qualifications.
