My ponies and I have flourished

Thanks to the superb, well-structured, and comprehensive training on offer

I joined GB POD Training Group three years ago, and in that time my ponies and I have flourished thanks to the superb, well-structured, and comprehensive training on offer. The pair of dubious little tearaways I started with are now becoming balanced, confident athletes under Robert Buck’s patient and exceptional guidance.

Robert is deeply committed to developing horses and ponies so they can perform safely, happily, and in harmony with their handlers. As a hands-on trainer, he often takes the reins himself, demonstrating exactly what’s needed to achieve the results we’re striving for.

Behind the scenes, Julie Camm ensures everything runs seamlessly. Her exceptional organisational skills and genuine care for members create a truly inclusive and supportive environment. Every GB POD member values her dedication and personal touch immensely.

There’s a wealth of knowledge, experience, and camaraderie within the GB POD community. Through local monthly clinics, regional camps, national training events, and the Festival and Certius Championships run alongside POD by Julia Liles, there are endless opportunities to learn, grow, and have fun.

I can’t recommend GB POD highly enough. It’s inspiring, exhilarating, and thought-provoking, and it’s without doubt one of the best ways to become a more skilled and confident horseman or horsewoman.
