SPEED AND FITNESS TRAINING AT N.H.C.
Educating riders on correct fitness training is something which Beatrice is extremely passionate about, ensuring the care and welfare of our horses is absolute paramount!
Location:
The National Horse Racing College, Doncaster.
Facilities:
* 1 furlong round canter track.
* 7 furlong round gallops.
Both gallops are railed all the way around, therefore the training is also ideal for nervous/novice riders wanting to have a canter in a secure environment.
Speed & Fitness training is a great opportunity for riders to build there confidence and knowledge using a variety of different fitness programs. Gaining greater understanding how to build cardiovascular and muscular fitness in horse and rider.
We will discuss and practice the stages of the riders position depending what speed and preparation is needed, including how to ride with bridged reins. We will discuss gears - when to use them and why.
Learn to FEEL what different speeds feel like for example 450m/minute (BE90), how to use your stop watch in training, in competition in the start box and course.
For established riders there will also be the opportunity to jump a few fences in a set time/distance.
Also helpful for those young green horses that need to be taught to open up and gallop. Or the other extreme of having control problems on an other enthusiast horse!
Once we have completed work on the gallops advice and handy tips for the care of horses post fitness training will be given.
Stop watches are recommended to get the full potential of your training especially if you are working towards optimum times at B.E. or Cross-country events. Each rider will have the great benefit of having a radio system each so we can communicate on the gallops.
When you receive your email with times and details for the training sessions you will also receive documents to download to complement the training sessions themselves.
