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.

Unlock the power of communication, connection, and mindset

• What NLP is and how it applies to riding, coaching, and training
• Rapport-building techniques to strengthen trust with horses and clients
• Communication strategies that cut through misunderstandings and foster clarity
• Mindset tools to shift limiting beliefs and unlock confidence
• Practical exercises you can use immediately in your professional practice
This workshop is perfect for:
• Equestrian Professionals who want to deepen client relationships
• Trainers seeking better communication with both horses and handlers
• Equestrian professionals ready to expand their toolkit for resilience and influence
• Anyone curious about how mindset and language shape performance
What you’ll experience:
• Interactive demonstrations and group exercises
• Real-world applications tailored to equestrian settings
• A supportive, professional environment designed for growth and reflection

Kindly supported by Bliss of London Saddle Makers, join us for a practical, insightful demonstration designed to support anyone involved in retraining or caring for former racehorses. Led by Amy Bannister-Bell, BHSI (Stage 5) Performance Coach and British Showjumping L3 UKCC coach, this engaging event will guide you through the key stages of the retraining journey – from the initial “first steps out of racing” to the development of a confident, well-rounded riding horse.

You’ll see former racehorses at different stages of retraining and gain valuable advice on managing common challenges along the way. With time for questions (and socialising too!)

Learning outcomes:
The key aims and learning outcomes from the Realistic Retraining Demonstrations are as follows:
1. Understanding of Retraining Process:
• The demonstration will show the step-by-step process of retraining racehorses for second careers, including the assessment of their conformation, physical condition and temperament.
2. Horse Behaviour and Psychology:
• Attendees will gain insights into equine behaviour and an understanding of the former racehorse’s learning process.
3. Ethical Retraining Methods:
• Attendees will see ethical, horse-centric retraining methods, including some groundwork, lunging, and very basic ridden work, through to higher level work, to demonstrate how former racehorses can be transitioned into a new career.
4. Safety and Welfare Considerations:
• Discussions about how to ensure the safety and well-being of both horse and handler, and when to take a step back or seek professional advice.
5. Training for New Disciplines:
• We explore how to introduce a racehorse to new disciplines like dressage or eventing, ensuring the horse's confidence and welfare are prioritised.
