Ride & Stay
Bring your horse and spend a little longer training together.
Come to Danesmoor for a night or two, with coaching from Sarah Gairdner and Alison Kenward and time to enjoy being away with your horse.
Â
What would you like to do while you’re here?
Bring something you and your horse are already working on, spend time on your dressage, have a jump, ride the gallops or prepare for a competition.
Staying for a night or two gives you time to see what happens, talk things through with Sarah and Alison and decide what you would like to work on next.

Train with Sarah & Alison
Two experienced coaches. Two different perspectives. Time to work with your horse.
Ride & Stay brings together Sarah Gairdner and Alison Kenward for coaching in dressage, jumping, eventing and competition preparation.
Bring something you and your horse are already working on, prepare for something ahead, or use your stay to see what develops over more than one session.
