NORTH Cornwall Riding for the Disabled group, based at Lakefield Equestrian Centre, Camelford, was delighted to welcome British Para-Dressage coach Clive Milkins for two days of training on February 18 and 19.

Clive is a well known trainer in para-dressage and he coaches Sophie Christiansen, who won three gold medals at the London Paralympics in 2012.

A number of riders had training sessions with Clive during his visit, including Emily Skerrett — riding Woody — and Sarah Cooper — on Dazzle. Emily and Sarah both travelled to Buckinghamshire with their horses later in the week to ride at another training session for aspiring para dressage riders.
