Details: Time-penalties are frustrating and being out of control is frightening! This is a training session designed to take place in an open field situationwhere the rider is trained to recognise the appropriate level of speed for the level at which they wish to compete. It also includes training on how to use your stopwatch and there is also a large range of bitting systems available to trial. No jumping is included in this clinic
