โœจWe're excited to be partnering up with Jo Alderton-Whitworth for our confidence workshop ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ

Here's some words from Jo herself ๐Ÿคฉ

''With over 30 years experience, I bring together practical horsemanship, coaching, mindset, and somatic approaches to support horse and rider partnerships. My years as an international para dressage groom helped me develop a keen eye for horse observation, recognising subtle changes in behaviour, movement, and wellbeing, while contributing to the preparation of calm, confident competition horses. Today, through MIND BODY HORSE Coaching Solutions, I help riders improve communication, confidence and connection by considering the horse and human as a unique partnership rather than separate parts''

๐Ÿ’–We love Jo's supportive and non-judgemental approach to coaching and are really looking forward to working together to help you feel more empowered, confident and connected! ๐Ÿค—

๐Ÿ“ฒThere's 3 spaces left for the full day workshop and 5 tickets for the morning talk

๐Ÿ”ฅExpected to sell out so be quick!
