In a coaching landscape where our industry is under more public scrutiny than ever, days like this are more relevant than ever before. Coaching the Process and Defining Success with Rob Lovatt FBHS gives coaches the chance to step back, reflect, and strengthen the foundations of good practice. Not through lectures, but through real horses, real riders, and real conversations.

Rob is a Fellow of British Horse Society, BHS Chief Examiner and an Honorary Fellow of Lancashire University for his commitment to vocational training, with decades of experience coaching riders from grassroots through to elite level.

Rob’s coaching is clear, practical, and thoughtful, with a strong emphasis on developing the rider to improve the training and way of going of the horse.

Across six practical, discussion‑led sessions, Rob explores how empathy, balance, influence and the training scale shape effective, ethical coaching:

Session 1: Developing empathy through balance and understanding
Session 2: Developing basic influence & introducing the training scale
Session 3: Using the training scale to develop the way of going
Session 4: Applying the training scale & learning theory on the flat
Session 5: Developing rider skills for jumping
Session 6: Using the training scale & learning theory over fences
Each session blends live coaching with open discussion, giving you space to observe, question, and refine your own approach. It’s thoughtful, practical CPD designed to support coaches and aspiring coaches at every level.

Through a combination of demonstration lessons, practical group sessions, and focused discussions, you will develop a toolkit of exercises and teaching strategies tailored to restricted spaces. Whether addressing novice riders' need for a contained environment, improving accuracy for dressage test riding, or designing effective jumping exercises within tight parameters, this training will equip you with practical solutions to common coaching challenges. The day concludes with an opportunity to share experiences and discuss specific questions about applying these concepts in your own teaching practice.

This practical CPD training day focuses on maximising the potential of a 20 x 40 m arena—one of the most common teaching spaces in British riding establishments. While smaller arenas can initially seem limiting, they offer distinct advantages for developing accuracy, control, and rider responsibility when used strategically. Throughout the day, we will explore how to turn spatial constraints into coaching opportunities across multiple disciplines and rider levels.
