Calling all EA Coaches

Do you teach beginner riders? Are you looking for something to enhance your business? 

Then Ready Set Trot is for you!

After extensive consultation with coaches, delivery providers, parents and participants, changes have been made to the Ready Set Trot program to make it easier and more financially beneficial for coaches to get involved.   

Recent Changes to Ready Set Trot

Changes to the Ready Set Trot program are offering greater flexibility for coaches and more options for participants.

Coaches will welcome a more flexible delivery method which will allow them to set their own lesson prices. And rather than provide set lesson plans, the program now focuses on participants achieving specific skill outcomes, giving coaches the freedom to run the program to suit their business, or even integrate it into their existing beginner programs.  To see a full list of changes - CLICK HERE.    

So whether it is one-on-one lessons, a school holiday group program, club introduction program, or regular weekend sessions, Ready Set Trot Stable Skills now gives coaches the flexibility to run the program how they like. 

What benefit is there to running Ready Set Trot – how will this help my business?

Ready Set Trot and its specific programs can be used by coaches and clubs as a platform to expand their current servicing and attract new participants. The benefits include the recruitment of new clients using a national program and the use of an established product to supplement or add to existing riding programs.

But I already run a beginner riding program – why should I use Ready Set Trot?

Ready Set trot is easily incorporated into existing programs and adds value through a nationally recognised brand, content and certificate that the participant can tick off as part of or in addition to existing beginner programs. Essentially Ready Set Trot can be used by coaches and clubs as a platform to expand and add structure to their current servicing and attract new participants.
