RoR is holding a 'How to retrain an ex-racehorse' evening clinic with World Class Performance Manager Yogi Breisner. It will be held on 12th November at the Scottish Equestrian Centre, Gleneagles, Perthshire.
Come and watch Yogi training ex-racehorses at all levels. A new RoR training DVD will also be launched at the event, which includes advice from Yogi and Olympic Event rider Tina Cook.
The cost to attend the clinic will be £15 and includes the free RoR training DVD to take home with you. Payment is required on the day, however, in order for RoR to have an idea of the level of attendance please email your name to lquainton@ror.org.uk
Yogi Breisner was appointed World Class Performance Manager and Chef d'Equipe to the British Eventing team in 2000. He had just eight months to get to know the squad before the Sydney Olympics, at which they won team silver, Britain's first eventing Olympic medal for 12 years.
Yogi has since led medal winning teams at both the 2004 Athens and 2008 Beijing Olympic Games in addition to enjoying many successes at both European and World Championships. Aside from his duties as British Eventing's National Coach, Yogi is much in demand in National Hunt racing, training both jockeys and horses to jump.
Another similar clinic will be run in the South in the autumn with Lucinda Green. Watch this space for more details.
