The club’s first lessons with Patricia Warren were a great success on Friday evening when three groups enjoyed intriguing exercises which illustrated the inextricable relationship between good flatwork and good jumping.
Patricia was confronted with a colourful cross section of members and their equally diverse mounts but she quickly identified the essential characteristics of each combination and managed, through deceptively simple exercises, to address the issues relevant to each pairing.
There was some experimental photography during the second lesson when it was firmly established that the days of decent documentary photography are well behind us. Instead we’ll rely on artistic impression and everybody is just going to have to use their imaginations for the next four or five months.
