Meg<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>Area 5 Training Update June 2026<\/h4>\n<p>Finally, the weather has improved, and we\u2019ve seen a huge amount of activity across Area 5 Training!<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2705<\/strong> We recently held very successful\u00a0B Test Horse &amp; Pony Care\u00a0and\u00a0C+ Test Horse &amp; Pony Care assessments at Clwyd Special Riding Centre. The standard of stable management was exceptionally high, and members commented on how valuable the series of Zoom training sessions had been in helping them prepare. \u00a0We held 7 Zoom Training sessions earlier this year with an average of 16 members joining each session, from Area 5, and all over the UK.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udc34<\/strong> Our\u00a0Area 5 AH Industry Days\u00a0have also been a great success.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A brilliant day at Twemlows Stud, where members gained a real insight into the day-to-day running of this busy stud delivering excellence at every stage of the breeding journey. Huge thanks to Edward Matson and his team for accommodating us.<\/li>\n<li>A second inspiring day with international event rider Michael Owen, a former member of the Burton Cheshire Forest Pony Club. Members met his string of event horses, including the impressive Monbeg Darwin, and learned about his preparation for Badminton \u2013 covering feeding, fitness, tack and post &amp; pre-competition care. Congratulations to Michael on a very successful Badminton completion!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\ud83c\udf93<\/strong> Thank you to Elspeth Carr for organising another excellent\u00a0Introduction to Coaching Step 1 course, at\u00a0Conwy Community Riding Centre\u00a0with kind permission of Wendy Tobias-Jones. Members enjoyed a morning of coaching theory followed by practical coaching opportunities, and are now looking forward to beginning their coaching journeys within their branches and centres.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\ud83d\udcc5<\/strong> Looking ahead, we are excited for our upcoming\u00a0B Test, C+ Test, and Lunge Test assessments this summer.
