In any form of horsemanship you need to worship at the feet of gurus. The Pony Club is giving Branch Eventing Team hopefuls just that chance when it runs two courses with Eventing Wizards Anne Marie Taylor and Sarah Verney.

The Courses which will take place at Cirencester (Glos.) on 26th June and Eydon (Northants.) on 9th July, will be for 24 members each day.

Anne Marie Taylor and Sarah Verney (nee Cotton) are both BHSII’s and former British Eventing Team members.

In the morning, each Instructor will have two groups of six for ninety minutes in an all weather school/enclosed area, working on the basics of cross country including position, control, presentation and accuracy.

During lunch an educational video will be played and in the afternoon each group will go out onto the cross-country course.

Places will be allocated on a first come first serve basis and applications need to be signed by your DC. The cost is £35 per person for 3 hours of tuition.
