Clinics are taught by:
Jo Crouch BHSAI with Intermediate Teaching (Instructor) and HND Horse Studies.
A bit about me:
I have been riding since I could stand up and also started carriage driving when I was 11 years old. I developed a great love for horses at an early age and went to Bedgebury School to study for my BHSAI in 1991. After this I went on to Writtle College where I took a H.N.D. in Horse Studies. I also passed my Intermediate Instructors Exam in 2006.
While doing this I was also a very active member of West Kent Sevenoaks and Romney Marsh Pony Club competing in Mounted Games, Eventing, Show Jumping, Tetrathlon, Polocrosse and Dressage Teams. I have also enjoyed driving nearly all the ponies that I have ridden and have taken part with them in many driving trials and driving events. After Pony club I joined Rother Valley Riding Club riding and competeted in many Dressage, Show Jumping and Horse Trials teams and have been an active member of the committee for many years.
I trained the Romney Marsh Pony Club Mounted Games Teams for 10 years soon after I had left school, which taught me alot about teaching children and I have always had a great love of teaching and helping people to enjoy riding their horses and ponies.
It gives me great pleasure to watch people gain confidence with their horses and ponies and I have made many friends along the way.
I am available for private lessons for children and adults too.
I am very happy to teach anyone with their own horse/pony whether you need help with learning a Dressage test, Gridwork jumping, jumping a round of Show Jumps or even just playing games.

What do I do:
The aim is to organise clinics that will build the rider's confidence and improve their riding skills; some are taught over jumps, whilst others are on the flat.
The cost of clinic will depend on the cost of the venues so please see each date for that information.
Groups will always be sorted according to ability and my aim is to build confidence in pony/horse and rider.
Sometimes there will be a theme behind the session such as Christmas or Halloween which then gives you the opportunity to dress up and have a bit more fun!!
There is an opportunity to have drinks and cake after the clinic and to chat to your friends. show more
