A cooler day for Coach Training and some great coaching and riding. We did some vaulting – which I believe is an important option for coaches to consider in their rider Training Programs. Coach Training is on every Wednesday at Team J. Come along and join our interactive training group. You can train and be assessed f...or your EA Riding, Horse management and coaching certificates to all levels. You can bring your horse or ride one of ours. Cost is $85 per head. Time is from 10am to 2pm. We also run updating clinics and two day workshops at regular intervals. To find out more Call Chrissie on 0412 405079 or George on 0431 212661 or email us christine@teamj.com.au for more details.

Public on the web (edit)
I was back at Terrey Hills to Coach the “Thunderbirds” at the Princess Anne Arena today, and we had a terrific time. Four groups of disparate ages and abilities all braved the showery conditions to be part of training in dressage, poles and jumping. Some wet horses, some seriously gorgeous young horses and some heroic older horses. Well done everyone and congratulations to Rachel for once again organising it so brilliantly (even she can’t control the weather). I love my trips to the Thunderbirds and admire the enthusiasm and keenness for learning I always encounter. For those in my groups today I would recommend follow up training with George when he comes over to Terry Hills on a fairly regular basis- you can call him on 0431 212661.

Horse riding on Fun Friday at Team J -14 October 2011
Fridays are always fun days at Team J for me- thanks to some of my favourite students- great riding everyone! George is at Dubbo competing at the Australian Showjumping Championships with three horses and today had success with Sprite coming third in the very competitive 1.30m event, Cecil has qualified for the D grade Championships tomorrow and Ozy has been very brave in the 1.140m Senior Titles ring over the very big tracks.
Jump club has been downgraded to a training day on Sunday due to the low number of entries. Coach Training is on Wednesdays and we run updating clinics at regular intervals. To find out more about lessons or training at Team J, call Chrissie on 0412 405079 or George on 0431 212661 for more details.

How old is too old? Chrissie explains why riding is right for the mature aged rider
When it comes to trying something new, some sports make it easier to answer this question than others. On a professional level, gymnasts rarely make it into their thirties. The wear and tear of high intensity sports, such as basketball and swimming, are also deemed the domain of the younger generation.
Horse riding however can be quite a different story, particularly at an elite level. No one under thirty has ever won a gold medal in showjumping at the Olympic
Games. The Beijing Games are a great example of this. On the Australian team Laurie Lever competed well into his sixties, Canada’s Ian Miller was 61, while Japan’s Hiroshi Hoketsu at 67 gained over 70% in the dressage. Ina Knospe from Canberra broke her horse in at 69 and competed on the same horse at 75 at Prix St George. Klaus Balkenhol won team dressage gold at the Atlanta Olmpics at 58 and still rides and trains every day at Grand Prix level at 72. Our highest placed performer at the recent World Championships, Chris Chugg was 53, while George Sanna, our current Australian Champion is 59.
As well as attracting an older demographic, competitive riding is also the only sport that places men and women on an equal playing field. Abroad Meredith Michaels Beerbaum is just as competitive as her hugely successful
brother-in-law, while on our home soil Vicki Roycroft, now 58, has represented Australia in three Olympic Games and four World Championships.
So when considering taking up a new sport in your later years, Equestrian is a rewarding and fulfilling option for both men and women. In our own student ranks, we have several older inspirational riders. Sandra McClean is 64 and actively competing in showjumping and dressage. Murray Robertson at 65 still has regular weekly lessons and newcomer Bill Gibson at 70 is embracing a life’s ambitions to ride horses with weekly lessons.
If well- mounted and well-managed, the older student can safely take part in lessons or competition according to their capabilities. From a health perspective, riding is an aerobic exercise, promoting core strength, balance and flexibility. Additionally, horse riding can be an incredibly social sport and provide you with a network of likeminded and passionate enthusiasts.
So for any older students who are interested in learning to ride in a safe and encouraging environment, contact Chrissie on 0412405079
