Details of the Workshop and Training Courses:

• Two days of dedicated workshops will be provided for the rider and coach. The topics are as follows:
• Topic 1: "How to improve a young athlete: ethical training methods": this workshop will be led by Jean-Philippe Camboulives. The focus will be on sustainable and ethical approaches to nurturing young talent, ensuring long-term success and well-being.
• Topic 2: "Horse well-being: CAM NF national coach, Daniela Moguel (5* eventing rider), will lead this session. She will share her expertise on best practices for equine welfare, emphasizing the importance of a healthy and happy horse for optimal performance.
• Following each workshop, participants will have the opportunity to apply their learning in practical Caprilli tests. These tests will be conducted on freshly retrained ex-racehorses. All performances will be filmed and debriefed in a collaborative session with Jean-Philippe and Daniela, providing valuable, personalised feedback to each rider and coach.
• The Caprilli test is designed to assess a rider's balanced seat and control over the horse. The format will be a straightforward test on the flat, incorporating small jumps (up to 60cm).The focus is on applying the principles from the workshops, and the emphasis will be on the educational value of the assessment rather than a formal competition.
