Polework clinic with Sarah Wedgbury BHSI.
Saturday 26th September.

We do polework for horses to improve their physical strength, body coordination, and mental focus through low-impact exercises.

What are the physical benefits?

Core Strength:
Lifting their legs higher forces horses to engage their abdominal and back muscles.

Better Balance:
Horses learn to steady themselves and control their weight distribution.

Joint Flexibility:
Stepping over poles increases the range of motion in their legs and spine.

Regular Rhythm:
Poles act as a guide to help horses maintain an even and steady stride length.

Coordination Benefits

Proprioception:
This is a body awareness term for a horse's ability to sense where its limbs are placed without looking. Poles teach them to coordinate their feet carefully.

Mental Freshness:
Adding poles breaks up repetitive flatwork routines, keeping the horse alert and interested in the training.

Small group size with 1 hour sessions.
£25 per rider.

🐴✨ GLAIS VALLEY EQUESTRIAN – RIDING SCHOOL DRESSAGE SERIES ✨🐴

We’re excited to introduce something new for our riding school clients! 🏆

From September through to February, we’re running our very own Riding School Dressage Series — giving our riders the chance to learn, improve, have fun and work towards a final competition!

✨ How will it work?
Each month there will be a different dressage test to learn and ride as part of your normal riding lesson.
We’ll have:
🐴 Intro – Walk & Trot
🐴 Prelim – Walk, Trot & Canter

The series is open to all our riding school clients, including lead rein riders, and you’ll be competing against riders in your own age category, so you’ll be riding against people of a similar age.
🏆

The best part? It’s a series!
You’ll earn points each month depending on your result, and those points will build up throughout the series.

There’s no pressure to rush into it! Once you’ve entered, your instructor can start helping you learn your test and practise riding it accurately. When you and your instructor feel you’re ready, you can simply ride your test during your normal lesson.

At the end of each month, we’ll announce the results and update the points table — so you can see how you’re doing and work towards the Grand Final in February! 🏆🎉

💷 Entry: £10

All you need to do for now is express your interest. Your instructor can then start getting you ready for your first test!
It’s a great opportunity to try something new, build confidence, improve your riding and have a little bit of friendly competition along the way. ❤️

Fancy giving it a go? Drop us a message or speak to your instructor to express your interest!

🐴 Who will be our Glais Valley Equestrian Dressage Series Champion? 🏆

At the end of the month, the pony with the most votes will win a special treat as a little reward. 🎉

Simply pop into the office before or after your lesson to cast your free vote and help your favourite pony get some points! 💕
