Dressage Simulator Clinic – Saturday 7 September 2024

Have you ever thought about how the biomechanics of your riding affects your horse? Perhaps you’d like to improve your confidence in the saddle or are recovering from injury or a fall.

Based at the National Racing College in Doncaster, the Dressage Simulator accommodates riders of all levels and abilities. The fully interactive simulator offers a revolutionary way to focus on your riding skills and balance, while viewing immediate visual feedback on your position and riding movements with a qualified coach.

Each clinic session, open to all fully paid British Riding Club Area 16 members, is offered on a one-to-one basis and is bespoke to the individual’s needs.

Each session is 30 minutes with BHS Stage 3 qualified and highly experienced coach, Rachael Proudley. Rachael is the lead Lecturer in Equine Studies at Doncaster Equine College and has over 30 years of experience in coaching and instructing riders and jockeys. At the end of your session, you will be given personal advice and techniques to take away and try with your own horses.

One-to-one session - £22.50 per rider

Address of training – National Racing College, The Stables, Great North Road, Doncaster DN11 0HN.
