Share the best equestrian clinics and workshops attended
I invite to share Your experiences of workshops and clinics attended – the best (and may be – the worst) experiences of tutors, to take home messages and the goals reached in these seminars.
One of my New Year's goals (mentioned here in the community) was to attend FEI Level 1 coach seminar and get certification.
It's done already.
The seminar was led by FEI Tutor Anna Gromzina – she was quite strict and demanding, but at the same time – nice and helping. She gave us a lot of
information about horse welfare, training of the horse and athlete, we received FEI educational workbooks and DVD. Tons of information and exercises to improve our work as a coach.
It was tough and challenging week in the company of others national coaches. All of us successfully completed test in theory and practical sessions in show jumping and dressage.
The next aim for me– FEI Level 2 coach certificate. I just need to find out where
these courses are organized after 6 month period or later and apply through our NF.
In pictures – me (wearing PSoS Adele base layer 😃) and Anna;

which illuminates the right path for the athlete.
