Manx Chasers are pleased to announce the availability of eventing clinics on Tuesday 18th and Wednesday 19th May 2010 with Isla Bennett and Jeanette Brakewell.
These instructors are both experienced teachers and trainers as well as competitors.

Isla is a Badminton and Burghley CCI 4 **** International competitor, including being best placed under 25 year old and best placed first time rider at Burghley in 2001. Having been the Young Rider National Champion in 2000, she was selected for the British Young Rider Team, to compete in Young Rider European Championships where she gained the title of best British rider at the championships.
Isla is currently competing her own produced horse Brigadier at CCI 3*** and she continues to compete at all levels within British Eventing, British Show Jumping Association and British Dressage. She currently competes two horses for owners and schools dressage horses for Mrs. S Carson who is an F.E.I. dressage judge.
Isla Bennett
Along with her husband Tim, who is a British Eventing course designer and builder, Isla runs an equine rehabilitation centre and training yard.
Jeanette Brakewell
Jeanette and her chestnut Over To You represented Britain at eight championships in a row. Together they won eight medals, making Over To You the most medaled eventer of all time.
Jeanette and Over To You were individuals at the 1998 European Championships. They went on to win four team golds at Europeans (1999, 2001, 2003, 2005), an individual silver and team bronze at the Jerez World Equestrian Games in 2002, plus team silver at two Olympics (2000 and 2004).
Together they were also placed at Badminton seven times, setting a record for completions at the event by a horse and rider combination, and equally Ballycotton's record for number of completions by a horse. Their best result was third in 2003.
Over To You retired from three-day eventing at Badminton in 2007, aged 19, and from the sport in 2008.

Booking for these clinics is now available on the attached booking form which will be used by the instructors to group applicants into groups of no more than 4 participants for the clinics according to skill levels so please be honest about your abilities.

Due to the limited number of places booking forms should be returned as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Each clinic will run for an hour and a half each day, and over the two days will include flat work and show jumping in one session and cross country in another.

The cost of the clinics is £60 for one clinic or £100 for a session on both days which represents great value to receive tuition from such experienced instructors.
Priority will be given to those booking for the two days, and in order of receipt of completed application form and cheque.

Cheques will not be cashed until confirmation of the clinics going ahead is guaranteed by sufficient numbers and you will be notified by email when this is the case.
(Please do not pay for other facilities on the same cheque.)
Once the clinics are confirmed, refunds will not be available.

Groups will run from 9am each day with 15min breaks between sessions and clients will be notified of their timing as soon Isla and Jeanette have grouped applications appropriately. (Where possible attempts will be made to allocate timings according to preference indicated on booking form.)
