John Ledingham presents twin coaching conventions for BHS
Irish International show jumper John Ledingham will present
two British Horse Society coaching conventions in May this
year.
Hartpury College in Gloucestershire will host the first of
the two training days on Tuesday 13 May. The second day will
be held in the north at Myerscough College in Lancashire on
Thursday 15 May.
John will be discussing his extensive experience as one of
Ireland’s most well respected show jumpers and trainers.
With numerous successes, such as back-to-back Hickstead Derby
wins in 1994 and 1995, he should prove a first class host
to deliver excellent coaching advice to BHS registered instructors.
Both days will follow the same format, examining successful
course jumping and looking at the horse and rider credentials
needed to achieve this.
Sam Whale, Training Executive said: “We are delighted
to welcome John to present the National Coaching Convention
and look forward to two very stimulating and informative days.”
Nial Quirke, a grand prix dressage rider who primarily coaches
flatwork and dressage to show jumpers, will accompany John
on both days. Working together they will assess schooling
and discipline between fences and suggest long term development
programmes to meet the needs and requirements of each horse
and rider combination. A range of levels will be assessed
ensuring that the content is applicable to all levels of BHS
instructors.
Margaret Linington-Payne, BHS Director of Standards said:
“John Ledingham is a world renowned professional and
should prove a first class host for this year’s convention.”
These two sought after days are open to all. Further details
and an application form to ride at either convention can be
obtained from the BHS Training Department. Both days will
count as a suitable refresher training for all Registered
Instructors and contribute 10 hours teaching time towards
those completing PTT logbooks.
