SCHOOLING & LOADING
ABOUT CLAIRE & SAVANNAH
CLAIRE
Claire learnt to ride as a child but then had a break from riding until into her thirties. She has been riding regularly since 2006 and has happily competed at Intro and Prelim dressage on other people’s horses. However, riding Savannah away from home has proved more challenging. You will see in this series how Claire and Savannah cope with these challenges.
SAVANNAH
Savannah is a 16.1hh, KWPN x Selles Francais mare. She is 11 years old but is relatively green. Claire bought her in 2014 with the aim of doing a little bit of everything on her. However, due to a few injuries and issues (both Savannah and Claire!) they haven’t done as much as Claire hoped.
Savannah took a dislike to loading in 2016. Ali Wakelin has provided guidance to help with Savannah's loading issues and is coaching this combination to get them out competing. Follow the videos to watch their progress.
