~For the Eventers~
A section just for eventers! I thought it would be a good thing to learn a bit more about this equestrian sport. After having Ingrid Klimke visit NS in November, who is one of the top event riders in the World, her views on training apply not only to dressage riders, but for eventers and jumpers. For a brief introduction, here is an excellent video put out by the USEF:

| 4* eventer, and Irish elite squad member, Joseph Murphy has a lesson on his top horse Electric Cruise with Grand Prix dressage rider Pammy Hutton, at Talland. Aiming to qualify for the London Olympics, Joseph works on fine-tuning his dressage. Pammy encourages Joseph to experiment with what's 'too fast' and 'too slow', in order to find the right tempo. Pammy tells Joseph, "when you lose rythym it's something to do with the timing of your rein aids", so Joseph rides with one hand and the lateral work improves! Pammy helps Joseph with collection after the medium canter and offers advice for staying calm during the changes. |
