New extraordinary training system in the Club
Added: 17/09/2009
The goal of the “Poland Park” Horse Riding Club is to develop riding skills of Club Members permanently towards excellence.
From 19th September 2009 we have been introducing unique training system involving the following principle. The majority of classes are to be led by two coaches at the same time, where one of them is a holder of recognized qualifications like PZJ Sports Instructor. Up to three persons at most are to be controlled by his instructor during a lesson, that should significantly intensify the training. With individual plans, training goals in mind, it is possible to arrange for flexible set of exercises tailored for an individual or a selected group of people.
We believe that this new approach will be proved in practice and our training sessions will become even more attractive and valuable.
Welcome to a new tutor in our Club!
Added: 17/09/2009
