🌟 CLINIC- A FOCUS ON POSITION 🌟

➡️ When: 14 June 2026
➡️ Where: QDL Stud Ltd, Colmworth

We are hosting a series of clinics throughout the summer/autumn with the aim of continued development and help for horse/rider. We have a 60x20m menage with a full set of training mirrors and a brand new set of Jump 4 Joy jumps.

After a very successful first clinic, we move onto the second clinic in our series - a focus on position.

This clinic is suitable for horse/riders of ALL levels and will focus on improving the riders position to aid effective and sympathetic riding. A majority of issues can be improved/fixed by starting with the rider and this normally originates from our position.

Would you like to feel more stable in the saddle? Perhaps you keep getting that that annoying 4 faults at the show? Or would you just like to further your riding? If so, this clinic is for you!!

✅ First sessions in the day will be pole work based, with circuit based exercises to focus on key ways to improve the rider’s position and strength.

✅ Sessions following this will be gymnastic jumping exercises designed to strengthen weaknesses in position and improve the horse’s strength and agility.

✅ We will utilise the mirrors to highlight the areas that the rider’s position can be improved and Ben will be offering some useful tips and hints on how to do this.

✅ The sessions will be fun, informative and effective.

✅ Sessions will be restricted to max. 3 riders per session so that you can get the most out of your time (private sessions are available on request).

✅ Sessions are based on exercises we use with our own horses to get effective results.

🔥SHOW RECAP🔥

We have been so busy with foaling, clinics and general day to day of running the yard that we have forgotten to give updates on our latest shows. Here are some highlights:

🌟 Scrappy jumped his first 1.30m 🤩 and is ready to take on his HOYS qualifiers this summer.

🌟 Teddy continues to impress week on week. We have kept him jumping discovery whilst he gets the essential show mileage but it’s been like a walk in the park for him.

🌟Nancy (pictured) has picked up various placings recently. We have been getting in her double clears for the HOYS second rounds next year.

🌟 Vinnie has very much mirrored Nancy and we are excited to step up a gear soon.

🌟 Bruno has successfully stepped up to jumping 1.10. When we got him last year he couldn’t even properly canter and now is looking to be a super smart horse. We will post a video on this soon.
