Due to the limited competition opportunities both now and for the foreseeable future, equestrians have the rare opportunity to take advantage of the time out of the show ring and really get back to basics with their riding. Top professional and USEF “R” Rated Judge, Geoff Teall is offering an opportunity for Hunter and Jumper athletes to get his expert coaching while still social distancing through virtual training. By reviewing both their technique and their horse’s performance on video, and offering a 30-minute review, Teall can help equestrians use their time wisely so they can be their best when they get back into the show ring!

“I believe in the importance of maintaining a positive outlook and focusing on the future. It is always a goal and to be able to take the time to study, understand and then work at home on possible weak points with your riding and training skills,” said Teall of his new service. “Sometimes we get so caught up in showing that we lose the time and opportunity to study the real art of horsemanship; I hope I can change that for people with this opportunity.”
