The Fhoenix Vogue

Enlightened Equitation are proud to announce the launch of the new Fhoenix Vogue dressage saddle, shortly to be followed by a new GP version.

The Vogue is the most supportive of all the treeless, or near treeless saddles, that Heather Moffett has designed, with a deeper seat, and the narrowest ‘twist’ of any treeless or flexible saddle on the market.

The Vogue allows the rider to sit in the ear/shoulder/hip/heel line with absolute ease, and exceptional comfort and stability. Made in England, by Nurseys of Bungay, Suffolk, a 217 year old family firm, from super quality soft Italian hide, in black or Havana brown, with or without suede seat and knee rolls.

Fits most horses with only minor padding adjustments where needed.

Narrower cantle, new logo badge, optional decorative stitching, all adding up to a very futuristic and stylish saddle. RRP £1145 plus p & p.

Enlightened Equitation Simulator Workshops

Pioneer of teaching with horse movement simulators, Heather Moffett, offers two and three day workshops at her farm in glorious South Devon. There is no one in the world with more experience than Heather in working with these machines. In eleven years, she has taught hundreds of riders from all over the globe. Heather's teaching methods are unique, extremely simple, achievable and very effective.

A teacher of 37 years standing, Heather sought for over 25 years to find someone who would make these simulators. Twelve years ago, a friend Jonathan Broughton-Heyes, designed the Equisimulator, and the teaching methods that Heather had developed to work in conjunction with a simulator, have been proven beyond doubt. Teaching and lecturing with them, as far afield as Sydney Olympic Equestrian Centre, Australia, The USA and Europe, Heather was also a guest lecturer at the Equitana in Germany in March 2007.

From complete beginners, to experienced riders with long established riding faults, the Enlightened Equitation methods will do just that, 'enlighten' . If you wish to learn to ride with kindness, in complete harmony with your horse, with elegance and finesse, then we can help you achieve your goal.

In hand/long reining workshops with Becky Holden

Top UK clicker trainer and classical in hand/long reining specialist Becky Holden (see Horse magazine, February and March '07) is also assistant trainer at East Leigh Farm, and offers in hand and long reining workshops. Learn how to teach your horse from the ground first - all of our horses are taught the movements on the ground before teaching them under saddle. It makes it so much easier for both horse and rider, and corrections can also be made so much more easily, from the ground.

"Just wanted to say a big thank you to both you and Becky for the 2 day in-hand course, it was very, very good and I came away feeling motivated and looking forward to practicing what I had learnt. Becky makes it look so easy and I have no doubt that is down to the long hours of perfecting what she does. Also, watching you ride on Friday was amazing, I will keep that picture of how still and light you looked in my mind when I am riding – who knows, one day I may get somewhere close but I now know what I am aiming for. Thanks again for the inspiration I get every time I attend one of your courses. Kind regards Jacqueline"

"Horses for Life" is an excellent online magazine with a myriad of articles that you will want to read over and over again.

Horses for Life Online - is dedicated to preserving and bringing online the wonderful educational resources that should be available to all riders and instructors.

Somehow, through a desire to “win” and progress quickly, much of the gentleness and logic has disappeared from our collective training methods in the last 20 years, and harmony seems to be fighting a losing battle. They developed Heartfire in an effort to reinvigorate the concept of harmony and true beauty in the art of riding.
