COACH OF THE MONTH - RUTH SCHNEEBERGERRuth Schneeberger is an EA level 2 General and Dressage Coach based in Mount Torrens, South Australia. She was born and grew up in Switzerland where she achieved the highest level in her coaching qualifications before moving to Australia. "It is very rewarding to see riders improving themselves and their horses. I always try to improve a horse's self-carriage, try to teach the rider, how to achieve and maintain it. Another really important thing for me is accuracy!" COACH OF THE MONTH is a regular Education series on our website. It is a way of highlighting the EA coaches and educators who work with dedication and passion all over Australia. RAM TRUCKS, TESTED FOR AUSTRALIA'S HARSH CONDITIONSAs part of remanufacturing Ram Trucks for Australia, we subjected them to a rigorous boot camp to test it against Australia’s harsh conditions. Take a look at the results. If you need heavy hauling & driving a pair of horses around the country, the Ram has your back. #LOVEOFTHEHORSE Return of a Grand Passion
Discover the new #LoveoftheHorse story ❤️ shared by Karen and some other students from Karelia Riding Instruction. "We are older women who have raised their families, finished careers, and now have found the time and the freedom to return to their love of horses! With the help of the lovable Clydesdale Gus and the other horses, our coach Angela has us saddled up and ready to ride! Perhaps we can no longer ground mount and we think twice before jumping that trot pole but we are back!"
