A great week with Impuls V at Osberton International Horse Trials, giving his all in every phase in his first CCI2*L.

He certainly isn’t the finished article quite yet, but considering how far he has come in his first year eventing I am so pleased.

We started off with a 29.3 in the dressage, were he felt very on side and produced some lovely work. Cross country day took a fair bit of riding in the wet conditions, but he dug deep and gave me a great spin to post a clear inside the time. Then a couple of rails came down today, when he just tightened over the back of oxers out of mud, but all a learning curve and he just showed a bit of inexperience at this point on the last day.He is such a pleasure to do and so exciting for the future, we are already looking forward to next season with him!

A huge thanks to joint owner Ginnie Wellings for all her support, her partner Paul Williams for the great action shots and to my mega Mum, Crystel Coakes for being super groom – a brilliant week for the team

I know I’ve only done one clinic with Coral – but it’s by far one of the best lessons I’ve ever had. I’d be really keen to attend more clinics. Thank you!

I have really enjoyed having monthly lessons with Coral at Mendip Plains. She has a wealth of knowledge that shows in her clear and professional way of teaching. Things are made simple but effective giving us both confidence, which we definitely need lots of! She’s always interested to hear how we get on when out competing., and in turn gives great feedback on what we well, and what we can improve on for another time.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my lessons with Coral. Her understanding of an indivdual horse’s way of going has helped me over the summer to achieve a better and more fluent way of jumping, and improved my understanding of speed on the xc course.

I had a great lesson with Coral last week, thought she was fab, definitely interested in training through the winter months, it will be great to have such a good instructor locally.

Sally

I started at Coral’s yard as her working pupil. I had horses of my own from a young age which I would compete but no real experience of how a professional competition yard runs. In going to Coral’s yard it was a huge learning experience and one that I am grateful for now. I learnt so much and with Coral’s high standards of care for the horses and turnout at events they were lessons that I cherish and use still now. I was given many opportunities to travel and groom at top events not only throughout the UK but also internationally. In being at Coral’s I was also able to complete an advance diploma in horse care through Haddon Training and gained my HGV licence.
After a year or so I had the opportunity of becoming her Head Girl. In my 3 years that I worked with Coral, I gained so many skills which are vital in the horse industry and enabled me with a platform to go on to other great openings.

I personally sent Coral a horse that needed a strict rehabilitation routine following a severe lameness on 3 legs. This horse following Coral’s care is now jumping 1.45 classes in International show Jumping competitions.

Coral as a person is a pleasure to work with. She is emotionally intelligent and promotes a structured happy working environment. Her knowledge allows her to educate the people around her to a very high level.
