I'm thrilled to write another 4 articles for you (if you have missed the previous ones about "Fuel efficiency", "How to gauge the efforts of our horse in work", "Using your HR monitor when training" and "The fitness plateau", have a look at the older blogs on the website. The first of every year (art 1 and 5) are on the normal blog space, for ...
Avoiding injury: The delicate balance that is the happy high level endurance horse This webinar discusses what you need to look out for to avoid injury where you can. Part of the webinar series "Upping the endurance game"
Making your training schedule can be hard: how much should you train, what rides to do, what about tapering, rest and other things you need to consider to compete your horse happy and healthy? Groen Equestrian can help. We have a lovely package to help you:3 recorded webinars and 2 30 minute face2face zoom sessions to give you the th...
What was your first thought seeing this picture of Watt and me cantering on these gallops?Most thoughts will have been positive: a lovely bit of cantering, "oh I would love that", and some of you can nearly feel the air passing their face because you know how it feels to have a nice canter on a good surface.Snapshots like these: of a rider doing th...
This webinar focuses on how to avoid elimination. Because although we often like to contribute elimination at rides to bad luck, more often than not it is something that could have been avoided.
In this webinar, I will try to make you aware of the factors that can contribute to elimination, so you can work on avoiding those. Both in training AND during your actual ride.
It is quite a long webinar with loads of information. It is in2 parts because of a little blib in my wifi connection but that will give you a nice break as well (though the 2nd part is the longer one!)
My audience in this webinar was mostly novice or a little more experienced, but I feel this is a webinar that would really benefit those that are looking to up their game in distance and/or speed or in technical challenges.
This is a recorded webinar from the "Train smarter" trilogy of webinars, and it focusses on how every horse is different.You already know a lot of this because of the first series of tutorials, but it is always good to have it all in one talk.Enjoy
This is part 2 of an older webinar focussed on riding and riding exercises I feel are beneficial for endurance horses. This is part 2 of this webinar, you will find the 1st here: This webinar in 2 parts explains the basics I work from, it features pictures and video's of examples and hopefully these will help you with your own ridin...

This tutorial is an older one, with a lot of video content of examples of lunging. It describes how I lunge my horses, often using a chambon as I feel that helps horses develop their topline and work in a way that I want them to work during my rides as well.Enjoy!
This is an older webinar previously recorded which will give you some help with a good quality of riding when you are training your horse.Enjoy!
When you are watching this tutorial I presume you have trained your horse for the distance you want to ride. But have you really? Different conditions can make a huge outcome to the result of your ride. Not only terrain, how you ride it and how that will affect your horse, but also weather conditions (which can actually make the same competit...
This is the last in a trilogy about "Training smarter, not harder". In the first one we focused on how every horse is different, because of its ability, its weaker links, circumstances and management. In the second we talked about all aspects involving training and resting.
In this webinar, I will explain how you can combine the knowledge about your individual horse with all of its individual circumstances and use your knowledge about training to do it right.
Some circumstances and weak links require us to go slower, focus on specific work and prerequisites before we can safely increase training. And we also need to realise that the type of ride we are preparing for can require a different way of training (and sometimes even per individual horse)
I will tell you all about it in this recording:
The first of a trilogy or webinars on how to train smarter, and not harder. To start training right for your horse you first have to know your horse.
But of course you know your horse! But do you? In an endurance sense? There are so many factors that are part of how your horse can do (or will do) endurance. Every horse has different intrinsic abilities (i.e. a different combination of heart, lungs, types of muscles and thermoregulation). Every horse is built differently, moves different, and we all ride a little different as well!
This is an introductory video about Series 4 where we "Turn theory into actual training". We apply everything we have learned in the previous series to know how to use suitable training techniques for our individual equine athlete.In this series we learn how to make the all important training schedule (our own, not copying someone else's!), but we ...
Now the schools have started again, the structure of "normal" life has started once more. And what better time for us to do some "studying" as well? In my coaching I often get asked about heartrate monitors, which one to use and how to use them. They can be a super tool to aid your training so that's why I will start with 2 webinars...
How you train, and whether you are doing too much or not enough will be different per horse and also for your goal… A cob training for a 40k in hills can find the work as hard as an Arab that is working to a 120k at high speed. How they train is different (or should be different). But all need to work via the same principle: prepare...

You can have the best training schedule in the world, but things can still go wrong if we do not take into account any weak links we might have in our horse. This is why we start the "Endurance: Step by Step" endurance coaching course with evaluations and assessments, to have an idea of what we need to be careful of, and what we need to i...

We will go through a lot of information about evaluating, assessing ...
