An all-star cast of guest speakers and presenters has been announced for the 2015 Para-Equestrian Coaching Symposium, which will be held at Moulton College in Northamptonshire, 7 – 8 February.

Supported by Sport England, the two-day conference, back in the calendar after a two year gap, is open to all hoping to develop their skills and knowledge in para coaching.  Britain is the world leader in para dressage and we have an amazing array of talent to call on as well as leading experts in other sports. Whatever your role in the sport; rider, coach, judge, trainer, you’ll get something from either or both days.

Headline speakers include former England and British Lions rugby player and head of Elite Coach Development for British Swimming, Nigel Redman and Paralympic coach, Nina Venables, who will be concentrating on how to coach a para-equestrian rider in order to produce their optimum performance.

World Class Programme vet, Dr Rachel Murray, performance and position analyst, Russell Guire and Vanessa Fairfax from Fairfax Saddles will be providing discussion on the key management issues essential for maximising a horse’s performance.

World, European and Paralympic medallist, Deb Criddle MBE will also be providing a talk based on her experiences, as an athlete, being coached as a para rider from grass roots to achieving Paralympian success. Within this, she will be discussing the importance of a good relationship between rider and coach, using herself as a case study.

Attendees will also have the chance to see World, European and Paralympic medallist, Sophie Wells MBE (pictured) and World & European medallist, Emma Sheardown as they’re riding.

Tickets for the day cost £30.00 with weekend tickets available for £50.00. For more information and to view the full line up of guest speakers, click here to view the symposium poster.
