Fun, effective polework to improve your horse’s way of going and challenge their body and brain!
Hi, my name is Nina Gill and I am based in Warwickshire and I’ve been a qualified equestrian coach for over 30 years. Fancy Footwork was started in 2019 and I’ve worked with hundreds of horses and riders since then!

-
Building balance, rhythm and suppleness
-
Developing core stability, engagement and proprioception
-
Improving your horse’s response to your aids
-
Strengthening your partnership
-
Keeping sessions mentally engaging as well as physically beneficial
A different
approach to training
Polework is an invaluable tool that can help your horse and become an essential part of their schedule whether ridden or Inhand.
My aim at clinics is to create a supportive, friendly environment where riders feel comfortable, horses are relaxed, and progress is made, but there is no pressure or expectations from me … I just want you to have fun!
