Spring is the season to get your horse fit and there are few better places than the New Forest to achieve this. The New Forest National Park is 150 square miles of open heath and woodland; making it the ideal training ground for endurance riding, Le Trek and other equine disciplines.
Conditioning your animal during these months is vital to achieving the optimum summer performance. That’s why Fleetwater Holidays gives you a package of service to meet all your equine needs during this busy but exciting time.Plus, you can receive personal training in disciplines like dressage and jumping during your stay.

The Balancing Act of Riding

October 2010: Fleetwater’s owner and ABRS instructor Jane Henderson hosted a lecture and demo about how your body position, balance and movement effects the way your horse moves and responds to your aids. Jane was very pleased to welcome so many people on a sunny, but very chilly, Sunday afternoon. The seminar set out to help our guests find simple ways to help correct the way they sit and move on a horse, and learn how giving the horse freedom to move allows it to find its own balance. In our experience by simply correcting position this helps to solve many of your riding problems. “A big thanks to Catherine for her assistance with the demonstrations and to everyone who took part, we hope to be running more of these sessions very soon” concluded Jane.
