August Open Day Postponed

August Open Day Postponed

 

Unfortunately due to the ongoing weather and the forecast going forward, we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone our Open Day this Saturday until 2nd September 2023. The forecast is for rain and high winds and with all the rain we have had, sadly we now have extremely limited parking.

Please add this new date to your diaries and we look forward to welcoming you all in September when hopefully we will have some sunshine!

First Clinic Being Held at Hugs!

We are very excited to announce that we are running our first clinic at Hugs with the lovely Kim from Idyllwild Horsemanship on Saturday 23rd of September!
 
The day will be focused around building confidence and a partnership between you and your horse. Each participant will have a group groundwork session in the morning for 1-1.5 hours then those groups will progress to group ridden sessions for 1-1.5 hours in the afternoon. Please note, you will need to bring your own lunch.
 
The cost of both the morning and afternoon sessions is £50 per person and there is a limit to 8 people, so if you are interested please book early using this link ➡ https://thehugsfoundation.beaconforms.com/form/4214e0ff 🥰 Spectators are very welcome with a suggested donation to the charity of £5 per person.
 
About Kim 
 
Kim’s passion, and reason for jumping out of bed in the morning, is helping equestrians and their horses form more lasting and meaningful connections, through better understanding of horsemanship, and their own mindset.
 
She is a UKCC Level 2 Coach in Western Riding, a certified clinical hypnotherapist and mind coach, and has travelled the world, working with talented horse trainers across the globe, to learn as much as she could to refine her craft, and help people and horses to be their best selves, together.
 
Kim coaches western riding, liberty work and trick training, general horsemanship/groundwork skills, confidence building, and long reining. The clinics she offers can range from introductions to liberty/trick training, long reining, or confidence building on the ground and/or in the saddle, and western riding (general improvement/schooling, pole work, trail, horsemanship patterns, ranch riding etc).
