Working Equitation is a 3 or 4 phase equestrian sport that has its origins from using the horse in the fields for herding and farming. It's now a competitive sport with the horse being asked to do things they might encounter working in a field with the additional requirement of elegance and speed. All activities will be fully explained and can be carried out at either a sedate pace (if you're new to the sport) or a bit quicker if you feel more confident.
Fi Dent is a BHS Senior and RDA Advanced Coach as well as a Working Equitation approved Instructor. She specialises in building confidence in riders of all ages. She has a wealth of experience and a passion for seeing riders achieve their goals and enjoy their horses.
