Based at Cote Hill Riding Centre in the beautiful rural area of North-West Durham, NE Rider Performance Centre brings together rider coaching & fitness to help you to achieve your riding goals.

Riding is a sport and the foundations of a level of fitness, balance, strength and flexibility needs to be achieved by a rider to ensure performance and pain free riding regardless of the level of the rider.

The Centre’s attributes include ‘Apollo’ the riding simulator, rider bio-mechanics and balance awareness sessions are available on Apollo with Joanne Forster – Level III Centered Riding Clinician & Ayla Forster-Blenkinsop – Level I Centered Riding Instructor, his client range include beginners, riders rehabilitating from injury or surgery and advanced riders wishing to fine tune their skills, bio-mechanics and balance.

In the near future we will be opening our facility up further to offer fitness and yoga classes specifically designed for riders and delivered by qualified instructors in each field who are also riders themselves.

Ayla is currently training as a level 2 Gym instructor & level 3 Personal Fitness Trainer and is looking forward to bringing fitness training sessions and so much more to the centre for riders.
