Really delighted to be here in Oslo @CRiC_SCR to present on equestrian coaching and the historical development of riding instruction at #cric2025 #takingthereins.
🤛 With our fabulous #CRiC2025 #BeyondBoundaries conference fast approaching, the team at Norwegian School of Sport Sciences have been hard at it, carefully crafting the conference programme! What a beauty!.
