Month: December 2023
A Week in the Royal Mews
You may have seen photos of members of the British Royal Family riding by carriage from Windsor Castle to the Royal Ascot races, but did you know that members of the exclusive British Coaching Club do the same? Some of the most remarkable experiences of my driving career were the dozen or so times that our work with senior members of the British Coaching Club took us to the Royal Mews of Windsor Castle during the Royal Ascot Race Meeting.
The Importance of Proper Rein Adjustments
Correct rein adjustments are essential to help your driving pair function together smoothly and evenly. Incorrect adjustments and handling can result in poor horse behaviors, or can even contribute to accidents.

What’s Missing in My Turn?
Anytime we come to a curve in the road or track is a chance for us to practice bending our horses. Having them bend enables us to drive accurately and safely, whether it be through a course of cones, or around real-world obstacles such as parked cars.
