About
Mastering pre and post-competition skills
Learn how to do quarter marks, prepare your stud holes for competitions, about different styles of studs and what type of conditions you would use them for.
These sessions can also include other useful skills such as icing for use at or after shows so you can feel more confident, ensure your horse goes well and has the best recovery care to ensure their longevity and comfort.
Specific skills can be selected when booking or requested based on your needs and gaps in knowledge. I aim for this to help amateurs wanting to improve their skills and confidence at shows as well as help professional rider’s grooms provide the best care for their horses while away at shows and be an asset to the team on those busy away days!
