We're hosting a Horses Inside Out Equine Pilates Demonstration with Gillian Higgins on Thursday 10 September from 6.00pm to 8.00pm. It's an engaging evening of live demonstrations exploring how Equine Pilates can improve your horse's balance, posture, flexibility and way of going.
Tickets are £36, including the booking fee. To make it easier to bring a group along, for every 10 paid bookings we'll provide 1 complimentary place.
I'd be really grateful if you could share the event with your riding club, and through your social media channels if possible. It would be lovely to engage with your members and make the most of having Gillian in the area.
Horses Inside Out Masterclass: Equine Pilates for Strength, Suppleness & Performance
We also have a complimentary event running from Brooksby college on 19th September. This is a full day practical hands on workshop with Gillian.
Horses Inside Out Equine Pilates Practical Workshop
Tickets for this event are £133. The event runs from 9am - 4pm. I am offering a bundle discount. Book both events for £154 including booking fee.
If you could also suggest other local riding clubs that might be interested, I would love to extend this offer to their members as well. Your support is appreciated and I hope to see you there - In fact I could really do with a volunteer for both events if your free!
Best wishes
Sasha

🎉Despite lots of clubs making it onto the 2026 leaderboard for the first time at the BRC Howden Horse Trials Championships, there was little change in the top 10 🎉

Saffron Walden & District Riding Club still hold the top spot with Solihull Riding Club beginning to close the gap. There are still 16 titles up for grabs at the Combined Champs with two wins being all it will take for a club to climb into the top 10 - so we could still see a top 10 reshuffle!🤨

👀Want to see your club climb the leaderboard? Find out about any remaining Combined qualifiers going on in your area on our website or get planning your winter qualifier schedule ready for next years championships!

Please note the leaderboard includes both team and individual top 3 results in BRC Championship classes (it DOES NOT include individual arena placings - overall individuals ONLY). Where there is a tie in overall top 3 placings, team placings take priority over individual results for the final leaderboard! ⭐
