10 & 11th March

Pre-season Event Course

A two-day course designed to give both experienced competitors and young horses a positive and helpful start to the year. The aim of the course is to improve confidence, trust, technique and co-ordination - the vital ingredient for a successful partnership to progress in the demanding sport of “Eventing”.

The course includes dressage training, gymnastic jumping, related distances, dealing with a showjumping course and cross country techniques (indoors). It also includes cross country schooling and how to walk a cross country course and avoid the pitfall’s! In addition, there will be theoretical discussions on fittening, feeding, tack and equipment, details about British Eventing and how to begin affiliated eventing.

The course will be taken by Lizzel and Eric Winter, both of whom are extremely experienced instructors and international competitors themselves.

They have between them produced many international horses that have competed at the very highest level of competitions throughout the world. Both have also competed in CCI****’s (Badminton and Burghley) and have been fortunate enough to represent their country in the sport of horse trials on several occasions. Additionally, both Lizzel and Eric are accredited trainers for British Eventing and Lizzel was, until the end of 2010, the National Coach to the British Junior Equestrian team and is now the Team Trainer for the Portuguese Juniors.  Lizzel & Eric are also Education and Training Managers for British Eventing.
