Simon Battram Dressage/ In-Hand Clinic

---

Simon trained in Germany where he received tuition from Herr Eichinger, a former Chief Rider at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.

When he trains, he takes what nature has given the horse and through a systematic, gymnastic training programme that is based on balance, straightness and progressive development of both the mental and physical aspects he enhances the way of going and prolongs the horses working life.His ethos develops the horse to go as much for himself as for the rider; not to shut down his thought process but to open it. 

Through his teaching he encourages riders to assess more of what is going on, not to simply barrage the horse with aids in the hope that some may work. When the rider understands the cause and effect of their position, their aids and their riding attitude they bring to the arena a whole new dimension and with this the quality of work they can produce really does leap forwards.

His specialist area is the Art of the Work In-Hand. He uses this skill to help horses at all levels and ages, whether it is just starting out on their dressage career or working with horses competing at higher levels.

The sessions can be dressage or In-Hand focused. Sessions are £55 for private 45mins, including arena hire and cup of coffee/ tea and biscuits.
