This course is for anyone who has just got (or is planning to get) their first horse or pony and the parents of new pony-owners. It is aimed at over 16s but over 12s may attend if accompanied by an adult.
Topics covered include buying a horse, how to feed it, basic stable management, knowing when to call the vet … and lots more.

Sunday 5th April – 10am to 4.30pm - TTEAM workshop at Bury Farm Equestrian Centre, Slapton, near Leighton Buzzard
Cost: £70.50 (or £15 for spectators)
An introduction to TTEAM and in particular to TTOUCH by Sarah Fisher of TTEAM UK.
The Tellington Touch Equine Awareness Method (TTEAM) is a teaching method for horses that incorporates body work (TTOUCH), ground exercises and riding exercises to help improve co-ordination, balance, and athletic ability whilst deepening communication and understanding between the horse and its owner.
This workshop is limited to 20 participants – working with 5 horses. Please only book a horse place if you are willing to permit others to handle your horse. We expect this to be a sell out - priority will be given to BHS Beds members who book before 31 October.
Spectators will also gain a lot of information though without the hands-on experience.
