He continues to compete in dressage at regional and national level and eventing at regional, national and international level, alongside his work as an instructor and coach.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cIt\u2019s a fantastic opportunity for students to gain competition experience, work as part of a team and develop their confidence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been fortunate to learn from some brilliant coaches throughout my career and I\u2019m looking forward to helping students develop their skills, achieve their goals and make the most of every opportunity available to them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>James Rayner, Curriculum Area Manager for<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/equine-2\/\"> Equine<\/a>, said the programme would provide opportunities for students with a wide range of experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have students coming to us with a wide range of experience. Some have never owned a horse or competed before, while others arrive with significant competition experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis programme allows us to support both ends of that spectrum. It gives students opportunities to challenge themselves, develop confidence and gain valuable competition experience while enhancing their overall time at Reaseheath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsea.org.uk\/\">NSEA<\/a> programme is part of the wider range of opportunities available to Reaseheath students studying<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/equine-2\/\"> equine<\/a> courses at Reaseheath to develop their practical skills and gain experience beyond their core studies.<\/p>\n<p>James added: \u201cTyler is a real asset to our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reaseheath.ac.uk\/further-education\/courses\/equine-2\/\">equine<\/a> team. He brings industry insight, a genuine passion for coaching and a level of professionalism that really resonates with our students.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHaving people with current industry and competition experience working alongside our students is a really important part of what we offer at Reaseheath.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Through the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nsea.org.uk\/\">NSEA<\/a> programme, students will be able to gain experience of competing as part of a team, with opportunities to progress from local competitions towards regional and national events.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reaseheath College and University Centre equine students will have a new opportunity to put their riding skills to the test, with the launch of a National Schools Equestrian Association (NSEA) programme at the college.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":82,"featured_media":148784,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[468],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-148783","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","news","","wp-json","wp","v2","posts","148783"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
