Pensdell Equestrian

14/03/2026

So excited as the first session in the TRT Advanced Trainers Course starts this week. This is the first time Tristan Tucker has run this course and I'm on it.
Over the next year I will be studying several subjects, including
Rider Tension/Fear/Freezing/Blocking
Low energy vs Shut down in the horse
Spooking
Equine separation/social stress
Mounting issues
When to step back/push on
Really looking forward to being able to bring this into my coaching.
For those of you that don't know what TRT is here is his website

Eliminate tension and feel safe in the saddle again. The TRT Method is your step-by-step roadmap to an unbreakable partnership – trusted by Olympians and Amateurs alike.

If you need more info about what we need for a video please contact me.

Tack does not need to be BD legal. You do need to be smartly dressed and your horse/pony clean and tidy.

This series is really friendly and encouraging. Ideal for nervous riders/horses, people looking to try riding a test for the first time & young horses.

Points & rosettes are awarded for the top overall 6 positions each month. The rider/horse combination with most points at the end of the series wins the championship. Points are counted separately for different levels.
