F & I Seminar – Hartpury Equine Veterinary and Therapy Centre
Well can I start by saying on behalf of everyone who attended WHAT A FANTASTIC DAY! It was great to see some new faces and also some new BHSI’s who had travelled a long way (across the water) to be with us. The day started promptly even though the weather was not in favour of…

We were all exceptionally lucky to have the chance to receive some expert coaching from Di Lampard over the two days at Addington.

Read MoreReport from training with Pammy Hutton at the F&I course
Once again the two days of dressage training was provided at the F and I course by Pammy Hutton FBHS. The biggest theme for the first day that I believe Pammy was trying to get across was that training was a team effort. Very kindly Pammy had asked if Ian Woodhead, who was at the…
