'Jump for Joy' - Savvy Camp

Taught by Rachael Shawyer and Tracey Duncan.

3rd - 7th of September 2018 and

10th - 14th of September 2018

Taught jointly by Rachael Shawyer and Tracey Duncan, this camp is all about adding purpose to your riding. Loosely based around the elements of a one day event, we'll take you through the different disciplines using and improving your Parelli foundation to build higher levels of rapport, respect, impulsion and flexion as you tackle obstacles and challenges together. Learn how to set your horse up for success in new environments, teach them to seek out jumps and obstacles. Improve your balance and position over fences and ride different combinations of jumps. The week culminates in a friendly 'competition' where the emphasis is more on fun and partnership than winning.

If you fancy having a go at jumping and x country in a safe supportive way, then this is the ideal course for you.

"Possibly one of the best weeks of my life.

Back from a fabulous week in Derbyshire with Rachael Morland & Tracey Duncan on the Jump 4 Joy course. This week has really crystallised some important concepts that I have been struggling with. The focussed purpose helped. As did a throw away comment by Rach - 'you wanna flow chart that!' -I did & it helped! I also really got a feel for how Fin can & should move & how I am responsible for expecting it & getting it."

"Now I have distinct markers to work on & rate progress - Respect, Connection, Impulsion, Calm. Thank you to the fab group for making it a safe fun zone."
