ADVANCING
GROUP RIDING & HACKING
11th to 13th September 2026
Willowbrook Stables, Bridgend, Wales
If you’re ready to take your riding and partnership with your horse to the next level, this 3-day advancing course is for you.
Over three inspiring days, you’ll refine your communication, build deeper trust, and experience the joy of riding out with confidence and ease — including a breathtaking beach ride that will leave you both feeling free and connected.
Through a blend of groundwork, arena sessions, and supported group rides, you’ll strengthen your skills and learn how to navigate new environments with calmness and clarity. You’ll discover how to maintain softness and connection, even in more open and exciting spaces.
This isn’t about pushing limits, it’s about expanding your comfort zone in a supportive, encouraging environment where you and your horse can truly thrive.
By the end of the weekend, you’ll feel more in tune, more capable, and ready to enjoy every adventure that comes your way — from quiet countryside hacks to the thrill of the open beach.
By the end of the clinic, you’ll have:
A more responsive, confident horse who stays calm and connected, even in open and exciting environments
The skills to maintain softness, focus, and flow when riding in company or new surroundings
A deeper understanding of how to support your horse emotionally and physically as you take on new challenges
The confidence to enjoy every adventure together, from countryside hacks to the thrill of the beach
This clinic is perfect for:
Riders who are ready to build on their foundation and take their partnership to the next level. Whether you’ve completed the introduction clinic or already feel comfortable hacking out, this experience will help you refine your communication, deepen your trust, and expand your comfort zone in a supportive, uplifting environment.
Join us for three days of learning, laughter, and unforgettable rides — and leave with a horse who’s ready to explore the world with you, one confident stride at a time.

about lyla...
Hi, I am Lyla and I believe that success with horses comes from understanding and connection.
I have been teaching across the UK, Europe and internationally for over 20 years.
I specialise in providing a unique blend of horsemanship principles alongside sensitively applied traditional ground and ridden techniques for riders of any discipline to achieve transformational results with their horses.
I believe that horses are happier and will respond better to training in any sphere when they understand your expectations and you understand theirs.

"I'm feeling a lot more confident about our training now, really looking forward to carrying on with what we have learned"
