Instructors

INSTRUCTORS The Epona instructors are qualified by the British Horse Society and the Spanish Equestrian Federation which means that they are trained to always have the horse and rider’s safety at heart. Moreover, when it comes to Dressage the knowledge gathered having trained under many masters of various nationalities has allowed them to form their own training and teaching techniques, where the pupils learning and enjoyment is the main priority as well as safety and the horse’s wellbeing, while always keeping in mind the principles and objectives of Classical Dressage. Our Horses and Instructors are prepared to cater for riders of all levels from beginners to advanced. Beginners will hugely benefit from the lessons because although things are kept simple, you know that your basic skills will be correct and solid, enabling you to persue whichever discipline you choose down the road. At a more Basic level, lessons will focus on the riders balance, seat, position and control, while at the same time gaining confidence in the three basic gaits, walk, trot and canter. When working with more experienced riders, instructors will be giving guidance towards riding your horse in a correct outline, straightness, balance, rhythm, etc. As the week progresses lateral movements such as shoulder in, travers, renvers, half pass, and depending on the riders level and ability, flying changes, pirouettes, etc. (lessons on an advanced High school horse will be paid separately)
