John Ledingham presents twin coaching conventions for BHS
Monday, March 03, 2008
Hartpury College in Gloucestershire will host the first of the two training days on Tuesday 13 May. The second day will be held in the north at Myerscough College in Lancashire on Thursday 15 May.
John will be discussing his extensive experience as one of Ireland’s most well respected show jumpers and trainers. With numerous successes, such as back-to-back Hickstead Derby wins in 1994 and 1995, he should prove a first class host to deliver excellent coaching advice to BHS registered instructors.
Both days will follow the same format, examining successful course jumping and looking at the horse and rider credentials needed to achieve this.
Sam Whale, Training Executive said: “We are delighted to welcome John to present the National Coaching Convention and look forward to two very stimulating and informative days.”
Nial Quirke, a grand prix dressage rider who primarily coaches flatwork and dressage to show jumpers, will accompany John on both days. Working together they will assess schooling and discipline between fences and suggest long term development programmes to meet the needs and requirements of each horse and rider combination. A range of levels will be assessed ensuring that the content is applicable to all levels of BHS instructors.
Margaret Linington-Payne, BHS Director of Standards said: “John Ledingham is a world renowned professional and should prove a first class host for this year’s convention.”
These two sought after days are open to all. Further details and an application form to ride at either convention can be obtained from the BHS Training Department. Both days will count as a suitable refresher training for all Registered Instructors and contribute 10 hours teaching time towards those completing PTT logbooks.
