Rider Performance We have worked closely with Liz Launder (Osteopath) for the last 10 years and we’re able to help with a range of issues such as poor performance or back problems. We also run regular rider performance clinics in conjunction with Liz Launder and Russell Guire (Centaur Biomechanics) for those of you keen to improve your own posture and performance in the saddle. Please speak to a member of Therapy Centre staff if you would like to use any of these resources. Feed Ordering We’re able to offer all students discounted rates on Baileys horse feed. You can place your order through the online shop by 12pm on Tuesday for delivery the same Thursday so this is ideal for students that do not drive. We ask that students collect their feed promptly on the Thursday from the yard feed room.

Orders can also be placed online through the college shop. www.hartpury.ac.uk/shop Baileys advisors visit the yard on a regular basis and are able to give individual diet recommendations for your horse. Please speak to the Yard Manager if you would like to make an appointment with a Baileys advisor.
