Need advice on Jumping instructors.

[*Polish*]

Hi guys.

A extremely unfortunte event has occured and now requires me to look for outside jumping instructors.
So I am in need of a jumping instructor who would be able to travel to teach at Epona. All i need is your advice on each of these instructors and contact numbers if you have them.

a) Paul Garliki (spelling) - someone else at the yard might be using him. heard he is really good. but apperently is very busy helping other higher graded people at shows so he wouldnt be able to give attention to helping me warm up >>Polish<<and watch my classes etc.

b) Lester Saunders - His brother Ryan, trained Polish about 2 years before i bought him. i dont know how polish did with his brother and apperently Ryan is a hard rider? is lester the same? some say he is very good.

c) Brendan Silen - I am VERY keen with Brendan... heard he teaches similar to Michelle Cooke.. the only problem would be the travelling from his side to Epona. What have you heard about him? Ever trained with him? I would like to make it worth his while to come out to my side and get a few people keen to have lessons with him.

xxxx Thanks guys.

i will pm you

Well I vote for Lester. He's my instructor and Ryan is his nephew btw. I'll PM you tho.

I can suggest Brendan. I haven't had lessons with myself, but I have seen him teach on a number of occasions, seen him ride and he rides extremely well and handles the horses with care and fairness and he is a friendly guy too. He teaches all over as far as I know, so quite possible that he would be willing to come out to you.

thanks so much guys

why dont you try zelda taylor? she has lessons with paul(so in effect you'll be learning from both of them)
pm me if you want her no.

I vote Lester! He gave me only a couple of jumping lessons with my previous horse but was good. He seems to give you loads of confidence! I found him to be gentle!

Its a pity this happened Polish. Didn't you move to Epona to be closer to your instructor?

Its not a week-to-week solution but I would also suggest going to Jonathan Clark clinics. He comes down regularly and its worthwhile going to him for lessons - even if you have a regular jumping instructor.

Sal, I moved to Epona, and shes going to george... ='( =(

[Salinero]

That's a pity. I don't know jumping instructors that well around here but can recommend JC.

thanks Sal =) i will definetly consider his clinics

[kels]

i second what sal says - def go to Jonathans Clinics when he is down - send me your email address and i will make sure you get all the info on them. he is definitely worth it

thank you so much =) [e-mail]

I would go with Brendan Tash,he's really good with teenagers.If you can get him out that would be awesome coz Ali could try a few lessons with him too.I know he travels out to Paarl every week so maybe he'd be prepared to travel to us?

[*Polish*]

aw cool! if i could get a few people together and make it worth his while, im sure =) Cause i know the little girl Kya or something? that owns Pepper. She is looking for an instructor too. I will chat to ali now now xx thanks

thanks so much guys!!

Who was your instructor that moved to George, Polish?

[*Polish*]

TD, the instructor is Michelle Cooke

[*~ annie ~*]

That sux, you were doing well with her.

Can someone please PM me about the last two instructors cos I don't know them and really just intrested as I am horseless.

I know Paul from my teenage years and he is very good IMO - he was then.

Hey Polish. Sorry to interrupt but is the pepper you are talking about by any chance a little black pony with white speckles? I doubt it's him but would be cool if it was!
