Nov-Dec 2019 Challenge Cup

CLOSING DATE: 31st December 2019

Members may enter both the Ridden and Groundwork Challenges. Choose between the Best Performance or Most Improved classes for each Challenge (per horse; one horse means two entries total maximum – one for Groundwork and one for Ridden). If you have access to multiple horses, feel free to enter separately with them too.

Nov-Dec 2019 Challenge Cup: Groundwork: Leading with Close Contact

The goal of this groundwork challenge is to trot a circle on each rein with close contact and improve your leading using the technique Jason describes.


Nov-Dec 2019 Challenge Cup: Ridden: One Hand Only

In the ridden challenge, you’ll try your hand (pun intended) at steering your horse with only one hand on the reins.  Follow the tips in the video, particularly making sure to keep your reins even.


Entry Classes:

You may enter one of the following per horse per Challenge (Ridden/Groundwork):

Class One Best Performance – If you think you’ve got the skills described by Jason in the video, record your best effort at completing The Clock, and simply enter!

Class twoMost Improved – You must show at least two attempts; Jason will judge how much you have improved over the challenge period.  The first video will no doubt look a little messy and is a real first draft of the work you have yet to embark on. The last video is once you’ve done your homework and you feel your horse has made good progress. You may submit these attempts as separate videos if easier for you, but please make it clear which is ‘before’ and which is ‘after’.


Don’t forget Jason is in the forum to help anyone that needs it, you can post a video and ask for help in the entry page.

Entries Close on: Tuesday 31st December 2019

Prizes: Prizes will be awarded for the “Best Performance” and the “Most Improved”.

What our members are saying about the Challenge Cup

Alison Baycock

Thank you so much Jason. Like the others i have greatly enjoyed doing the first challenge and found it really beneficial – especially watching the videos (even tho it makes me cringe!) and receiving your detailed feedback. Getting a medal is the icing on the cake. Thanks also to Kay and everyone else for their support – it makes it even more fun.

Alison Ball Alison and Joss

Wow! Thank you Jason. We had great fun doing the challenge. I must say that I thought it would be much easier. But when faced with taking her out of her safe environment, it proved to be a very useful excercise. We’re now exploring the outside World a bit more. I love the challenges. Such a great way to improve your horse and horsemanship whilst sharing the experience with others. I think I may celebrate later. And Joss will have a treat.

As we’re showing off our medals, here’s one of me and Joss sporting our fabulous challenge cup. What a lovely surprise to get it in the post. Thank you Jason Webb and Sarah for making Yourhorsemanship so inclusive and fun.

🙂 I love all the encouragement and especially that the prizes aren’t just based on who did it best. I wasn’t able to take part in this months challenge, but can’t wait to try the April one.

“Mac and I would like to thank Your Horsemanship and Jason Webb and Sarah O’Neill for our bronze and silver medal for the March challenges.
I thought as Mac had done most of the work he should model them but as they wouldn’t go over his head we came up with another idea!
A very big thank you – feeling PROUD! Here I am with Mac in the field sporting my new Toggi polo shirt for Best Participant and medals! A great big thank you to Your Horsemanship for my prizes for the March challenges and of course to my great Steed!
