Which program should I join? What level should I be at?

If you are interested in eventing (starting unaffiliated and progressing to affiliated, with the ultimate aim of Badminton Grassroots) then Growing to Grassroots is the program for you. Ideally you will be jumping a minimum of 70cm, but if you haven’t jumped a course of 70cm yet don’t worry, this program could still be for you! If you are already competing with British Eventing at BE80/90/100 and would like to refine your techniques in order to be more competitive, this program is definitely for you.
If you are less interested in competing and enjoy learning and progressing with your horse, Growing to Greatness is the one to look at. You will still have the opportunity to join me at local shows should you want to, for a small additional cost.

What’s included?
Growing to Grassroots includes;

• One monthly session at your home yard or a venue of your choice. Any facility/venue hire for your ‘at home’ session is not included in the package.

• One pre-organised monthly clinic at various venues across the East Midlands. Every clinic is specially designed to aid you on your journey to Grassroots success!

• Every month you’ll receive 2-3 recommendations for local shows. This is to save you time looking for somewhere to go to put your training into practise. I will be attending one of these shows per month where I will be on hand to course walk with you and to assist in the warm up arena. (Competition entry fees and transport costs are not included in the package.)

• I will recommend a few one day events (both unaffiliated and affiliated) throughout the 7 month program where I will be on hand to assist with course walks and warm ups. (Competition entry fees and affiliation fees are not included in the package.)

• You’ll receive engaging training exercises and floor plans to use at home during your schooling sessions. Each exercise will be tailored towards your personal aim and level. You can also send me videos of you riding the exercises for feedback.

• You’ll have access to our exclusive Facebook group. This is a safe space to share your successes and struggles, photos and videos, and generally be a part of the community we are creating.

• Every 2 months we will host friendly gatherings for attendees of both programs, including the exclusive launch night. Every get together will include a guest speaker who will talk about their given profession. All speakers have been specifically chosen to be a relevant part of your journey, and they will all have an interesting insight to how you can progress even further!

Every month I will attend a competition at a local venue, and you are very welcome to join in for a small additional cost. Entry fees are to be covered by the rider.

How do I sign up?
Use the online sign up form, fill in your details and click “Sign me up” - it’s as easy as that!
If you would prefer the sign up form to be emailed or posted to you, please contact me to have this arranged.

How do I pay?

You can pay for your program via bank transfer (standing order is preferred), cash (please contact TT Equine to arrange this), or debit or credit card. All debit and credit card payments incur a 1.69% transaction fee. You may select this option on the sign up form.

Is payment taken on a certain date or every month?
Yes, payment is due by the 1st of each calendar month with the exception of April. As April is our sign up month, payment is due within 3 days of signing up to either of the programs. Any late payments will receive a first email reminder, from which you have 3 days to ensure payment is made. After 5 days of no payment (by the 6th of each calendar month, with the exception of April), a second email reminder will be sent, your program will be paused and any arranged training will be cancelled. If by day 13 (the 14th of the month with the exception of April) payment has still not been received, your program will be cancelled and legal action will be taken.

What if I miss a clinic due to a planned holiday? 
You are very welcome to attend one of my other monthly clinics held at my yard, or if you’d prefer you can claim an additional train at home session.

What if my horse is lame during the program?
If your horse goes lame or has any moderate to severe medical conditions, a vet’s note will be required to pause your payments and program. You are able to resume your payments and program as soon as your horse is back to full health. A vet’s note signing off your horse’s right to return to full work may be required. 

What if I am ill and can’t make a lesson?
Any unattended lessons or clinics must be cancelled at least 24 hours ahead of time. Any sessions cancelled with 24 hours or more notice will roll over into the following month or, if my diary permits, we can rearrange for your earliest convenience. Any sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours notice will not be liable for rollover or rescheduling. 

What if TT equine cancels a lesson/clinic?
Whilst I try my very best not to cancel sessions or clinics, sometimes it does happen. If I have to cancel a lesson at home, if will be rearranged at the earliest convenience for both of us. If I am forced to cancel a clinic, it will either be rearranged or relocated within a reasonable time frame. 

What kind of heights will I be jumping?
If you are enrolling into the Greatness program you can jump as small or as large as you like! There is no minimum requirement to join the Greatness program.
If you are enrolling into the Grassroots program we require you to be jumping 70cm confidently, even if you haven’t jumped a course at 70cm. Remember, this program is about progression, and whether you’re ready to go out and jump a BE90 this season, or whether you think you might need a bit more time to get there, your progression is a personal journey. 

What if they are miles away from me? 
For 2025 we are basing both programs in the East Midlands. As we look ahead to 2026 and beyond, we are hoping to branch out to other areas, so keep an eye out for next year’s launch!
If you are interested in either of the programs but are not within an easy reach of the East Midlands, please fill in this form so we can gauge which areas to branch out into as a priority.

How many people are in a class/clinics/lessons?
Your training at home sessions will be on a one to one basis, unless you have someone on the same program at the same yard whom you are willing to share with.
Clinic groups are a maximum of 3 riders.

What type of venues will we be having clinics at?  

Our 2025 clinic venues may include;
Barrowcliffe Cross Country
Pickering Grange
Field Farm cross country
Newbold Equestrian Centre
Welldale Farm
Aylesford Cross Country 

What level will everyone be at? Will I be in a similar level to everyone else in my group? 

Yes, I will put riders of similar abilities in the same group at all clinics. Occasionally, I may have a rider who is jumping slightly larger than the rest of the group, and they will have the opportunity to work on technique and form over smaller fences before jumping a larger track/exercise towards the end of the session.

Will TT Equine offer times to suit me so I can fit this around my working hours and busy life?

Yes, we certainly do try! My current working days are Tuesdays (10am - 5:30pm), Wednesdays (10am - 8pm), Fridays (10am - 8pm) and Saturdays (8am - 8pm). Program attendees will be offered priority booking every month to ensure days and times fit in with your own schedule. 

Do I need my own insurance? Do I need my horse to be insured?

Yes, absolutely. You should have cover for yourself as a rider, and your horse needs a minimum of public liability cover. This is a legal requirement. 

What if my horse or I get injured at a clinic? 

Every care is taken to prevent falls of horse and rider, however we know it does sometimes happen. When signing up to one of our programs please be aware that horse riding is a risk sport and no one can always guarantee perfect safety. If you are unfortunate to be injured during a session with me and you believe I am liable for the accident, you are within your rights to ask for my insurance details and proof of qualification. 

How long will the lessons/clinics be?
Your at home one to one sessions will last 45 minutes, and clinic sessions tend to last 1 hour. 

What level does my horse have to be at for each of the programs?
I ask that Growing to Grassroots attendees are confidently jumping 70cm at home, have been on a cross country course at least once before, and could confidently navigate an Intro dressage test. 

Growing to Greatness your horse can be any level! It is open to 4 year old+ horses.

How much time would I need?

As much as you want to give!

Growing to Grassroots:
Your committed sessions only take 2 hours per month (excluding travel time), and it is your decision whether you use the exercises at home or attend a competition - although we strongly advise that you do to make full use of what is included. If you are looking to be fully committed I would hope you would be able to ride 4-5 times per week, along side attending the clinic once per month, and coming to one of the local competitions once per month.

Growing to Greatness:
As much or as little as you want. This is your personal journey, and I don’t believe in applying too much pressure to a non competitive hobby. If you only school or train the two times a month I see you, that’s fine! It’s entirely your choice.

What is expected of me? 
My expectations of you are very reasonable. This is your journey, and your passion, and I am here to help you to progress at your own pace. 

Competition attendance – what is this – how does it work? 

Every month I will recommend 2-3 local competitions, and state that I will be attending one of them. If you decide to enter the competition I am attending, you will be required to let me know what class you have entered, and what your times are once they are released. I will meet you at the venue on the day, walk the course with you (if applicable) and help you to identify any opportunities. I will also be present in the warm up arena to adjust fences and give feedback to ensure you have a productive and efficient farm up session prior to going into the competition ring.
