🎤🐴 AN EVENING WITH RICHARD JOHNSTON‑SMITH

We’re extending our invitation to all.

We are hosting an evening with the larger‑than‑life legend Richard Johnston‑Smith on Tuesday 22nd September at The Crown.

This is a free event but we will have a donation box for our chosen charity on the night for some pennies. Please click to get your ticket so we can keep track of numbers.

🎟 Ticket link in comments (as FB is limiting the number of links 🤦🏼‍♀️)

🧠 Modern Equine Learning Theory

Richard will present how your horse experiences the world through the horse's senses and realise how they interpret their surroundings. Improve your understanding of how to train your own horse with a selection of different exercises to develop your own training methods and effectiveness when working with any horse

Once the learning bit wraps up, we’ll roll straight into the all important social chit‑chat, laughs, and horsey gossip.

It’s shaping up to be a cracking night — educational, entertaining, and fun!!
