So Make sure you bring a case to discuss within your group!\n\nDue to the practical component of the course. This course is limited to 20 spaces, and booking on-line will be on a first come, first serve, bases. \n\nThe first half of the day will be a practical interactive demonstration by Diane Thurman-Baker, where she will be demonstrating in-hand priciples/techniques, working with 2-3 different horses at different levels/needs. She is keen for the course to be interactive, where we are able to ask her for ways to specifically target activation of different muscle groups/ movements. She is also happy for people to have hands-on practice at these exercises with the horses as we go. \n\n \n\nThe Presenter: Diane Thurman-Baker \n\nDiane has a wealth of knowledge of Classical Training with over 40 years of working and training in this way. Especially where it comes to training horses in-hand, from the ground; from youngsters all the way to GP Dressage as well as assisting with rehabilitation cases.\n\nHer journey started with many trips to Portugal with her late mother, Nan Thurman, learning from the Masters, including Louis Valença and Nuno Oliveira and bringing back some of the first Lusitano horses to the UK.\n\nIn her early years with her beloved Lusitano stallion Diabo, she was performance champion many times both at home and abroad. Then with Lucca, a homebred son of Diabo, she went to the Golega Horse Fair in Portugal where they won the Piaffe/Passage class, beating the Portuguese! The pair were also in the first British Working Equitation Team and competed to Grandprix in BD dressage.\n\nShe has since helped her daughters to get selected and compete on GBR Junior and Young Rider Teams and both her daughters still compete at Grand Prix Dressage. They work with her same training principles together at their base; Turville Valley Stud, Oxfordshire\n\n
