SEAN COLEMAN - 4 Day Intensive Clinic
ONE OF THE UK'S LEADING HORSEMEN
We warmly invite YOU to join us on a 4 day intensive clinic with none other than Sean Coleman!
In our creative learning environment you will be able to further enhance and transform your equine journey and partnership using Sean's applied horsemanship techniques allowing you to progress with the the sacred art of horsemanship and riding.
Sean will take you on your own unique, journey with your horse at a pace set to suit you both.
For many years Sean has dedicated himself to developing his horsemanship skills. First and foremost Sean is an equine behaviourist and helps people to understand not only why horses do what they do but how to affect it. Sean is a 3* Parelli Professional and has spent 2 years over in the states, learning directly from Pat Parelli - One of the worlds renowned and leading horsemen - as one of his apprentices on his ranch.
Sean has 3 main interests: – Classical Dressage – Natural Horsemanship – California Bridle horses
Helping all manner of riders, from recreational to Olympic level, Sean has worked with people in the Show-jumping, Dressage, Polo, Eventing and Showing and Western worlds.
His mission is to share knowledge, understanding and compassion for the horse whilst still getting great results. Sean’s focus is to help people become better for their horses so their horses can become better for them, no matter what their discipline or goals.
Whatever you are having problems with, or if you are simply looking to refine your skills and be the best you can be, Sean WILL be able to help you!
There is accommodation available if you go onto our 'accommodation' box.
Please let us know if you are going to be coming on your own and would maybe like to share accommodation with someone else if your game to meet new people! It helps keep your running costs down.
We do however have rustic functioning camping available on site a short 5 min walk from the stables with breath taking views. If your lucky you might even see the little otter that comes in at night! Book through Lunga Estate. (In our accommodation box)
SEAN IS A VERY WELL SOUGHT AFTER CLINICIAN BECAUSE OF HIS ENHANCED SKILLS AND EQUINE BEHAVIOURIST QUALIFICATION
⚠️ Please don’t take it personally if you cannot get a hold of us immediately or in some cases - at all. ⚠️
Firstly and foremost it is a small but busy yard. The Owner deals with everything to ensure the smooth running of the day to day tasks including taking out the rides.
There will be times she may not answer you back, please feel free to keep trying. What we do ask is if you can’t reach the owner, there is a valid reason to why she is unable to deal with your enquiry (she does have a life out-with the horses..)
Western/Working Equitation Week
An annual opportunity for Riders of all levels to receive a week of instruction/or tailor make your own riding holiday.
Bring your own horse or hire one of our team if you are well known to us and are regular riders. You Choose how many days/half days you wish to participate in.
All aspects of Western riding will be covered.
The week finishes with a day of shows, all in good fun, with classes for all different abilities, including novice horse and novice rider, and a prize giving dinner and presentation.
We are very pleased to announce that our clinician for this year is none other than Louise Mcknight from Broadway performance horses!
Louise needs no introduction to us, she has competed to an extremely high level including European. Louise is not only a trainer but also a clinician as well as a competitor.
Louise started her career as an English rider coming up through pony club. Louise's mum was a riding instructor which allowed Louise the opportunity to pursue a career in her love of horses which was advantageous. Louise competed successfully in various English disciplines and has a good skill set that can easily be transferred between English and western riding, thus making her a highly sought after clinician.
Louise is a UKCC level 3 coach in western riding. She has competed in Europe in reining, winning a rookie title. She has a western training yard in Broadway bringing on young horses and competing for clients in all disciplines including ranch/ranch trail and ranch riding and has many championships under her belt.
We consider ourselves very privileged and honoured that Louise has kindly been able to be our Clinician this year at Western Week/Working Equitation/Horsemanship. Louise has a wealth of knowledge that she is more than willing to share and works in unison with each individual partnership of horse and rider.
