We are very lucky to have 2 excellent experienced trainers booked for the next 4 months, both who coach riders at affiliated level but are equally good with novice riders:- 
Kate Negus, now Kate Taylor, has been teaching and coaching show jumping for the last 17 years since giving up competing herself due to a brain haemorrhage. Originally trained by Duncan Inglis & based at Hickstead All England Show jumping for 10 years, she experienced Show jumping at the finest level and had the opportunity to be coached by some of the greatest trainers of their day. Coaching is about understanding what is needed to produce the best results between each individual horse & rider. Kate prides herself on giving each student the very best of her experience to help them achieve what it is they aspire to, from a simple clear round, to winning a BSJA open. Her Show Jumping clinics will offer advice and test you both, without placing your or your horse's confidence in danger.

Paul Davies has trained with Stephen Clarke, Calman De Jurenak, and Sue Bradshaw, with whom he still trains. He is a member of the British Dressage Regional Trainers Club (formerly Pyramid Trainers), benefiting from seminars and training events with top class trainers such as Carl Hester and Ferdi Eilberg. He is also the British Dressage North Wales representative, sets set up clinics with Spencer Wilton and is determined to bring other "names" to the area and to open up opportunities to more Dressage enthusiasts in North Wales.             http://www.paul-davies.co.uk/
