Ackworth & District Riding Club

Horses for Courses presented by the BHS NW and the BTRC

When: 25th March 2019 Where: British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre

(BTRC), near Lancaster

There is a training day running in the NW, in conjunction with the British Thoroughbred Retraining Centre (BTRC), on Monday 25th March 2019 which promises to be a really insightful day. I thought this may be of interest to you and other local equestrians, this event is open to all and will count as CPD for BHS Coaches.

Below is a summary of the day with information and booking, I also attach a poster if you could promote the training locally I would be really grateful. You can also find this information on our Facebook event if you could share it that would also be really helpful.

The age old saying ‘Horses for courses’ still stands the tests of time, but how carefully do we assess the needs of our horses for the job we are asking them to do? BHS NW & The BTRC is bringing you a fascinating day of training covering:

· Initial assessments

· Diagnosis – identifying pain or behaviour

· Suitable training for realistic goals

· Sustainability – effective maintenance

Receive expert knowledge from Gordon Sidlow (BVMS MRCVS), FEI 5* Vet and Gillian Carlisle, BTRC CEO (BHSII, SM) along with experts in nutrition and farriery at the BTRC yard just north of Lancaster, Lancashire.

Registration 9:30am course runs 10am – 5pm

Training open to all - £35 (lunch included)

Club field directions:

The best way is to approach from the main Wakefield/ Doncaster road on the A638 at Nostell Priory. Take the turn onto Garmil Head Lane and then first right onto swine Lane. Follow the road for 1.5 miles past Nostell brick works, over a railway bridge, past a farm and then cottages on the right. It is then the first turning on the right onto Moorhouse Lane ad the club field is 100 metres on the left.
