EQUESTRIAN EDGE have become the latest company to sign up for the British Show Jumping Association's business partnership, which was set up to help Britain's riders challenge for Olympic gold medals.
The company is made up a team of expert world class coaches who specialise in Equestrian sports performance and training.
Sandie Chambers, the firm's director of training and development, has spent her entire career working with sports performers of all levels and abilities and understands through her own experience as a seasoned equestrian what it takes to achieve the edge on the competition.
She said: "We have experts from a number of different fields all working together to achieve a balanced effective long term solution, the aim of which is to achieve optimum physical and psychological performance.
"Great sports performance comes from physical and mental preparation, the secret of winning is achieved through mind and body balance and focus, and it’s our aim to achieve great results for all our riders."
“There are three factors that influence an equestrians sporting ability:
"Fitness, mental Skills and technical ability.
"Although most sports performers tend to focus almost entirely on their technical and fitness skills, in equestrian sport we tend to focus almost entirely on our technical aspects of riding, which means that we often neglect the mental and physical side of our sport leaving us ill- prepared to perform to achieve our peak performance and that winning edge on our competition."
Maria Clayton, the head of cmmunications for British Show Jumping, said: “In Equestrian Edge there is a tremendous energy and wealth of knowledge across the entire team and we are looking forward to working with such a forward thinking company.
"Their approach to performance is one that I’m sure will be of interest from those attending our junior academies right through to the top level competitor”.
