Classical Dressage Clinic with Mike Aylmore @ Brook Stud, Wilts

Join Mike Aylmore of Aylmore Classical Dressage for a 1:1 private, or a semi-private lesson of two riders, tailored to you and your individual horse. Whether you’d like to work in-hand, on the long reins, on the lunge, or under saddle, this clinic is open to combinations of every level and ability, with an emphasis on making classical dressage accessible to all. This is a reoccurring event, running on the last weekend of each month, giving you the opportunity to continue training with Mike once a month if you enjoy your first lesson.

Mike works with competitive and non-competitive riders, and with horses and ponies of every age, breed, and type. You don’t need to be competing, riding at any particular level or have a top bred horse to join – just keen to learn.

𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗠𝗶𝗸𝗲
Mike’s calm, empathetic approach is built on 'training through explaining', using traditional classical dressage techniques that are easily understood by the horse. He promotes a kinder way to ride and train — without force or fear — encouraging horses and ponies to work softly through their bodies, with correct alignment and good posture.

Classical dressage is about gymnasticising the horse to develop strength, suppleness, and straightness, helping them perform at their best and stay sound for longer; creating balance and longevity through correct, thoughtful training.

With extensive experience in equine rehabilitation, Mike also specialises in restarting remedial horses, as well as starting young horses, with confidence and clarity.
