    • Shoot coaching for those looking for guidance or practice
    • Practice under competition conditions for the experienced competitors
  1. Run training – Vicky McKinnon is an ex PC Tetrathlete, PE teacher and head coach at Knutsford Tri Club. She says ‘I believe that a positive outlook, along with a healthy and active lifestyle is fundamental to improving performance. No matter what your ability the focus should be on individual progress whilst having fun and enjoying your achievements.’ She will cover the various aspects of a good run performance.
  2. Pilates – Claire Godwin is an ex PC instructor. Her session will give a good indication of how Pilates can become a useful tool in your everyday life, including equestrianism and all sports, and how it can  minimise injuries and reduce recovery time. She will concentrate on Posture, Flexibility, Core strength, Co-ordination and Sense of well being.
  3. Performance Support – Reanne Benson works with people suffering pain or wishing to improve performance and uses techniques including massage, stretches, trigger point therapy and movement analysis. For us she will provide: ‘age adjusted performance support, taking into account physical and psychological factors affecting and contributing to athletic performance in and out of the saddle. This will include a brief theory session ranging from basic for the youngest to more technical for the seniors. Then they will do some dismounted exercises around balance, proprioception and conditioning.’
