Coach and Olympic competitor Chris Bartle was recently welcomed by SCT Apprentices at Parklands EC, in Sheffield, where he was on hand to offer the group an exclusive masterclass.

A former Badminton winner, Chris took time out of his extremely busy schedule once again, to coach nine groups of SCT apprentices and employers.

he said:

“I enjoyed teaching enthusiastic groups of riders with varying degrees of experience, all of whom showed significant improvement during the session.”

Chris proved that whether you are an Olympian or not, the same essential skills and appreciation of the importance of quality, consistent and sympathetic training are vital.

One attendee said:

“This was a fantastic opportunity to be training by Chris and to take away lots of exercises to improve rider and horse.”
