CPD

Flying Changes Coaching has arranged a series of CPD events for Coaches, one of which is being held at Aberystwyth University on Weds 28 November 2018

The training is brand new and leading edge and Coaches will gain a toolkit of knowledge to help them develop a rider’s mental performance; creating real and lasting impact on performance and aiding riders to achieve their goals, whatever they may be. 

One day of cutting edge training delivered in the classroom all about Rider Psychology – Through this brand new and leading edge training, you will gain a toolkit of knowledge to help you develop a rider’s mental performance; creating real and lasting impact on performance and aiding riders to achieve their goals, whatever they may be.

Delegates learn:

  • To understand how fears and confidence are developed

  • The tools and techniques needed to increase rider confidence and self-esteem

  • How to aid in goal setting to develop lasting progression and confidence in riders; especially after an accident or undesirable event

  • To further understand motivation and de-railers, and how to maintain positive relationships in adversity

  • How to design and adjust the content of a coaching session based on basic psychology knowledge

Who is the course suitable for?
This course is suitable for all; from trainee coaches to those with years of experience, teaching across all disciplines and all level of rider. You don’t have to hold a formal qualification to attend, but BHS Accredited Professional Coaches can gain CPD.

All Coaches are welcome (and riders too if they wish), and the training counts as valuable CPD for Pony Club and BHS Coaches. 

The course promises to be really interesting and is great value at just £40 for the whole day (or £35 for BHS APCs). As spaces are limited, I wanted to let you know about it so that any Coaches in your Area get the chance to book before it is imminently advertised in the BHS newsletter .

Area 5 – Tetrathlon Training

The Area 5 Tet Committee is holding a Training day for members without ponies (shoot, run and course walk/slip rail/gate) and a course for the adult who does the shoot training for your Branch or who would be prepared to do it after some training.  We are asking that you try to have your Branch represented at this adult shoot training.  The emphasis is on safety but there will be some shooting technique included. There will be the opportunity to act as Range Officer on the day.  The Adult course will take about 2 hours and start at 10am Mostyn Fun ride. Cost about £5 to cover shot and targets.

  • Training opportunity for adults to coach your children in shooting

This session is designed to give Branch Parents (and others) the knowledge required to coach their own children safely. Please bring the air pistol you will be using and suitable pellets, but if you don’t have access to an air pistol we can probably provide one.

The venue will not be heated!

  • Tetratlon Training children (unmounted training day)

Shooting: Shoot / Throw under competition conditions then get feedback on your result and a chance for a further 5 pellet shoot or 5 beanbag throw.

Riding: Guided course walk to give you an insight into what to look for and how to prepare to ride a course. Practice the sliprail and discuss tactics for remounting. Practice the gate and discuss how to reduce the time taken. NB – no ponies this time.

Running: Discuss warm up and preparation and how much parents are allowed to help.

Swimming: not specifically covered but we will be happy to answer any questions.

Entry Fee:  tbc (hopefully free but we may need to ask for a small donation)

Congratulations –

Congratulations to Abigael (Abbie) Royle who has just been notified that she has achieved YELA GOLD.

“My branch is Burton Cheshire Forest Hunt. I completed  the award from Bronze to Gold over the past 3 years, regularly volunteering with RDA while completing the other elements. I have enjoyed the award, the Gold was tough but worthwhile!”

Abigael Royle has been invited to Olympia International Horse Show in December to receive her award  and have lunch in a private box!  Well deserved and well done.
