HSI Coaching Programme – New Dates and Venues Announced for Spring 2016

HSI Coaching is delighted to announce new dates and venues for courses within the HSI Coaching Programme for spring 2016. The Horse Sport Ireland Coaching Programme is designed to provide candidates with a pathway to a career as a successful competition coach. HSI Coaching courses are delivered by professional equestrian tutors and use modern techniques to improve both horses’ and riders’ performance. Coaching courses are currently delivered across four levels and are accredited by Coaching Ireland; the Irish governing body for coaching in all sports.

The HSI Coaching System is a competition based coaching system and focuses solely on coaching. The courses offer a better understanding of modern competition requirements, coaching skills, technical knowledge and principles of good communication so they are also suitable for parents, breeders, young horse producers, competitors, riding school instructors and anyone involved or with an interest in horses and the industry.
