Karen’s technique involves questioning the participants about their horses and then going on to give some very thought provoking instruction with practical advise on some of the points raised.

After each lesson the horses will be able, weather and ground conditions permitting, three timed passes up the eight furlong grass gallops of East Fourstones Livery Yard. Following which, the horse’s heart rates will be checked twice over a set period of time in order to obtain some indication of it’s recovery rate and hence fitness.

As a further treat and taking stock of the beautiful scenery, riders can end their outing with a quiet hack along nearby bridleways and lanes which are available close to the venue.
