Talland School of Equitation
Two lucky boys had a wonderful opportunity to visit the Talland School of Equitation.
How wonderful to return "home", to where it all started for me, the world renowned Talland School Of Equitation.
After the school having been given a lesson from Talland, two boys were taken for a fantastic opportunity, to not only put into practice what they had learnt, but also to further this and learn more in a superb indoor school on some very special horses. (one of which taught me some of what I know)
I could go on for pages about how much the boys got from this and what they saw, but for me it was one boys fascination at being able to see himself in all the mirrors and introducing the boys to some quite outstanding horses, one of which represented us at London 2012. If you want my advice, find them and ask them.
Our thanks go to Becky and Emma and all at Talland. We hope to see you again soon .............
