URGENT AHS UPDATE WESTERN CAPE

'From the Horses Mouth' SAEF live podcast this Wednesday @ 19:00. Meet our newly appointed SAEF Lead Coach, Regula Niehus.

"Coaching is the universal language of change and learning."

Bob Nardelli said that without coaching, people can never reach their maximum capabilities, which makes this week's topic a fundamental foundation to our entire sport, from grassroots to high performance.

We speak to the SAEF Lead Coach of the national coaching commission, Regula Niehaus, about her last two years spearheading South Africa's first coach development programme through Dressage South Africa, what the coaching commission will offer to not only the coaches but the riders and the sport, how the disciplines will all be involved, and how YOU can both participate and benefit within this SAEF initiative.
