The aim of this evening class is to develop a positive attitude towards riding through releasing stress and supporting the rider’s confidence by working on our level of fitness and coordination. Through developing a better balance on the horse we increase the rider’s equilibrium and his seat on the horse.

Our aims are to improve mobility and flexibility, core stability, postural alignment, weight loss, cardiovascular fitness and create a oneness with our horse. The class is mainly for the novice rider who is capable to walk, trot and canter independently. But we also welcome the adult rider who has started riding recently and would like to try riding in a group in a relaxed atmosphere.
We like to try different things on our Tuesday evening class like vaulting, fitness workouts, riding to music etcetera. If you would like to try anything special let us know 🙂

One hour group ride.

7:00 - 8:00pm, Joao Cavaco, £42

Our chief instructor Joao Cavaco has a busy teaching calendar but Wednesday Nights you have the chance to join his class to learn and practice advanced dressage movements on our advanced horses. Joao’s very direct and charming portugese manner combined with challenging exercises will make you sweat and laugh. From time to time he will jump on one of the horses and ride through the movements to explain to you exactly what you need to focus on and how to be the rider and not the passenger on the horse.

7:00 - 8:30pm, Nicola Swain, £40

The Thursday evening class is targeted at riders have a good understanding of the basics and have progressed from the novice groups and who wish to push their riding and baking skills further.

The sessions consist of a 1hr ride, followed by a lecture/discussion with tea (or coffee) and home baked cake.

The principal instructor for the group is Nicola Swain. Nicola focuses on the scales of training and the interaction between them to improve her riders’ abilities. The techniques she employs ensure that the riders both have a goal to work to and have to work to that goal.

The group was initially set up by one of the other instructors as a lighthearted alternative to Wanda’s Tuesday Balance and Fitness Club, quickly earning the nickname the Fatness Club due to the requirement of all members taking turns to bake a cake. The competitive nature of the group works well to push both their riding and baking skills forwards.

This is a very popular group and riders who are interested in joining the group are welcome, subject to space being available.

BHSI, Reg. UKCC III Coach Educator, NVQ A1 Assessor

Owner, Instructor and Trainer.

Tina and her parents started Contessa Riding and Training Centre in 1977 and it has continued to blossom and grow ever since. Tina competed up to Grand Prix level with her mare Pik Dame, who she trained right through the levels from a three year old. The highlight of her competition career was with Pik Dame representing Great Britain in 2000. At present she is training Queijada for GP work, a Lusitano mare previously owned by the daughter of Sylvia Loch of the Classical Riding Club, who wanted her horse to be trained by a classical rider who would be able to take her to her full potential. Since Q arrived at Contessa it has been the start of her affair with the Lusitano’s, as they require sensitivity, loving and harmony to produce the best from them and she is happy to give them all that!

Other important horses in Tina’s Dressage career have been:

Borrowdale (Buster to his friends) – who introduced Tina to Grand Prix competition, having trained him to that level.
Karleton Quartz – an inexpensive Anglo-Arab bought to save from the meat man at a sale with the intention to bring on and sell, who ended up competing to Prix St. Georges with Tina, then training a great many students in the advanced movements
Lanzo – also bought to sell, but ended up staying! With whom Tina competed to advanced /PSG level nationally, and who has introduced a few lucky members of staff to advanced competition.
Other very special competition horses that have been with Tina inc Deskant, Marcus, Some Friend and many school horses have been taken under her wing for some competition experience.

As a BHS Instructor and trainer, Tina has coached a very large number of riders, encouraging them all to work with their horse to achieve both harmony, understanding and correct way of going in the classical method. She has trained a great many students through their riding and teaching exams to the highest levels, including to the dressage section of the BHS Fellowship. She was previously a BHS examiner, and currently examines for the ABRS to their ATD Exam – the top exam that they offer. Tina is also a UKCC level 3 Tutor in Sport, NVQ A1 assessor and was a BHS Riding and Road Safety trainer and examiner.

Tina has been training with Arthur Kottas (photo with Tina above), former First Chief Rider of the Spanish Riding School of Vienna, for over 20 Years. Tina goes to the TTT in Guildford several times a year to train with Arthur and has regularly been asked to perform in their lecture/demonstrations.

She has also ridden in demos and received training from many great horseman, such as Reiner Klimke, Nuno Oliveira, John Lassetter, Danny Pevsner, Stephen Clarke, to mention just a few!

Tina has also been working with John Bowen since 1993. This benefits all the students who then want to join in his clinics at Contessa which are held every two months, as the classical ethos of both their training is continued which she thinks is so very important.
In 2001 Tina made her own addition to the Layton clan with her son Zak. Tina would love for Zak to follow in her footsteps, and he is just doing that with his very talented Grand Prix horse Riacho. Hopefully he will start to take part in competitions and be involved with BYRDS in the coming season.

Tina feels she owes tremendous amount to her Mother and late Father who have helped her build Contessa Riding Centre into the international dressage yard that it is today. Without their support, advise and encouragement it may not be as it is now!

BHSAI

Nicola developed a love of horses at a very young age, and has been riding virtually her whole life. She has worked in various yards, including dressage, jumping and stud yards. She has worked in dealer’s yards, hunting yards and even polo.

Nicola loved eventing when she was younger, however she is no stranger to Contessa having trained with us 18 years ago. It was then that her passion to train classically and in particular dressage was born, which surprised her as she originally had plans to event. But the intricacy of dressage fascinated her, and she has carried on ever since.

Nicola has owned her own horses, mainly training them from the start, and has competed to elementary level. Nicola only left to have her daughter and then embarked on a career as a police officer. However her passion for horses proved too strong and 2 years ago she returned to coaching and training. Nicola has, and still does, compete for the Hertfordshire Police Saddle Club, including showjumping at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, parading with colleagues in front of the Queen and leading a procession of over one hundred horses and riders from all services including the Army, Navy and Air Force.

She has also competed in showjumping at Hickstead. For the future Nicola plans on completing her BHSII, and ABRS exams, continuing to compete with the Herts Police Saddle Club, and taking her young horse out to compete.

She has a keen interest in in-hand work especially for rehabilitation of horses. This developed from her experience with her own horse having spinal issues. Nicola teaches passionately building a great rapport with her clients encouraging riders to build their confidence.
