2019 Monthly Meetings
Normally held at 8pm on the first Wednesday of the month at the Beaufort Hotel, Chepstow NP16 5EP
Those wanting to eat first should aim to arrive in good time.
Wednesday 6th February 8pm.
A talk by Gaye Nicholas on Goal Setting.
This is a subject that will be dear to the hearts of most equestrians and a great topic for the first meeting of 2019.
Gaye is a BHS senior coach, BD trainer, BE coach and a list 5 dressage judge. She has competed to a high level in both dressage (up to Prix Saint George), and eventing (up to 2*).
She says: "The role of goal setting first came to my attention as a primary teacher and I have carried it forward to equestrian coaching helping clients involved in dressage, horse trials and more recently endurance. I also find it an invaluable tool as a competitor myself and it certainly was key to me qualifying to compete at PSG last season".
Wednesday 6th March
A talk by Nick Gauntlett on How to get a Horse Fit.
Nick is based at Chipping Sodbury, S. Glos, where he has excellent training facilities, including gallops. He is a BE Master Coach and a Fellow of the British Horse Society and runs training courses all over the country or at his own base. He has also trained riders at riding club level - Wye Valley and the Area 15 Camp.
He has trained and ridden many horses up to BE 4* level including Calibre, Chapel Amble, Grand Manoeuvre and Chilli Morning. And he still has a string of horses on which he competes regularly.
