Story \u2013 Chris Hector & Photos \u2013 Roz Neave<\/h3>\n

Craig was 15, Prue was 19 when they got their first taste of Heath Ryan at the NSW Equestrian Centre, and now eighteen years later, Craig still pays tribute to Heath Ryan\u2019s charisma: \u201cHeath does allow the average person to dream, that\u2019s what he does so well. Most competition people who go top of the line competition, do it because they are very confident in their own ability. They are very physically apt, and they have the confidence to pursue what they want to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people \u2013 and I would include myself in this group \u2013 don\u2019t have that confidence until someone tells them that they could possibly do that. And 99.99% of people will tell you, you can\u2019t do it. Heath is in the 0.01% of people in this world who will actually stick their neck out for you and say \u2018you can do that, and I\u2019ll actually be there for you when you try!\u2019 Everybody else will say, \u2018no you won\u2019t be able to do that, you are not good enough, you are not talented enough, blah blah blah.\u2019 And then when you fall over, they say, \u2018see I told you\u2019. They don\u2019t want to stick their neck out, but Heath will stick his neck out for anyone who wants to have a go \u2013 and that\u2019s what he does, he just allows you to think that your dream could be a possibility, then it is up to you to make it. He doesn\u2019t do anything more than allow you to dream.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a fifteen year old kid, I had pictures of Heath and Matt on my wall, it pains me to admit it, but you do start with the dream, but that disappears in most people because most people don\u2019t have access to someone who actually says, yeah, you can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo I\u2019d bought this horse at the NSW Centre Auction \u2013 Billabong of Coolalee and when Matt Ryan couldn\u2019t take me for work experience, he suggested that I got in touch with Heath. So down to Lochinvar we go with the horse and away you go. It was a great horse, by Mr and Mrs Ryan\u2019s Andalusian stallion, a full brother to the one Matt took as reserve to the Seoul Olympics. He was very quiet, quite sensitive but he would have rather pulled up and stopped, if I was doing something ridiculous on him. I think he was a genuinely quiet horse.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CraigBilabongP18\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Craig on Billabong at Kooralbyn back in 1989 \u2013 what nice style the youngster had!<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI kept going back each time for work experience and school holidays. Any time we had holidays, I\u2019d pack up, and move down to Lochinvar, two weeks, six weeks for Christmas \u2013 I wouldn\u2019t even go home for Christmas, they all thought I was crazy but I would just stay for as long as I could. I remember going there and just hanging over the door. I don\u2019t know that I did much work\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Prue: \u201cHe was still doing that when I got there.\u201d<\/p>\n

For the young Queenslander, Prue Cribb, the Centre was a crucial step on the way to international competition:<\/p>\n

\u201cMajor turning point. I went to Lochinvar when I was 19, and I took Navarone. I was as happy as a pig in mud, the whole time I was there I just thought \u2018this is what I want to do\u2026\u2019 I\u2019d worked in a bank for two years and decided that was not for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"NavaroneP19\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prue Cribb and Navarone at Melbourne in 1993 \u2013 winning the three star\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

You were lucky to have picked up Navarone \u2013 a horse that took you on to international competition?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe came from down Nowra way. Felicity was competing at Worrigee 3DE, around 1987, and Ruth Emery lived down there, and she was a really good friend of Mum\u2019s. She taught us as children, she used to come up to Bundaberg and do schools four times a year. Her next-door neighbour had the horse, and Ruth said to mum \u2013 I\u2019ve got a horse that I think will suit one of the girls. So we went and looked at it, and for the princely sum of $600 loaded it on our truck. We couldn\u2019t really go wrong at that price.\u201d<\/p>\n

Was it a big shock to arrive at the NSW Centre \u2013 Heath has a fairly theoretical approach to riding, was that different?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a different technique as far as the dressage goes. It opened up a whole new world as far as riding the horse on the bit, but I think Mum had actually given us quite a good grounding. She was really good at getting us taught, we were quite used to being taught and managing horses. Yes, Heath was tad more eccentric than Mum was, but I can remember at home we weren\u2019t allowed to load the horses on the truck unless Mum was there. They had to go on in a certain order, so when I went to the Equestrian Centre and all the other students were going \u2018why do these horses have to go on in a particular order?\u2019 \u2013 I was like, yeah well they do have to go on in a certain order.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI do remember my first meeting with Heath and he had just hopped off a horse and he told me to hose the horse. \u2018And it\u2019s got to be wet you know! Wet all over, it\u2019s not to have a dry hair on it!\u2019 \u2013 I can remember thinking, okay, I can hose it, and I think I can probably wet it a bit\u2026 that was a bit strange.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut now when I am in a situation where I have people grooming or helping me, I can so understand where he was coming from. You don\u2019t know what someone\u2019s past experiences are. Some people you ask them to hose a horse, and they just go and hose its girth. So he did want things done in a particular way.\u201d<\/p>\n

He seemed to convince almost every student in that era that they were potential world champions?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think he just opened up a door really. He gave you the opportunity. I do remember him talking to me and saying that I would probably be able to go to Barcelona, and I remember thinking he was crazy. ‘What are you on about?’ I think I was there at a really fortunate period, when there were other like-minded people there \u2013 Craig, Gordon Bishop, Bronwyn Batey \u2013 and we were all probably quietly in competition with one another, but I think we were all worked so hard, that competition didn\u2019t raise its head.\u201d<\/p>\n

For Craig it was an inspiration just to be at the Centre:<\/p>\n

\u201cI just used to follow everybody around and do whatever had to be done. I remember Ludendorf was just getting to Grand Prix and doing piaffe and passage and one times changes \u2013 it was just fascinating. I remember Rozzie had an old grey horse \u2013 Percy, Stirling Tower \u2013 and she did a freestyle to music at one of the performances, and there wasn\u2019t a dry eye in the house. It was just fascinating that dressage could be done like that. At home it was just riding circles, change ride the other way, and do another circle \u2013 dressage to music with the crowd is in tears was another thing. Wow this is amazing. So I got a bit hooked that way.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was just a powerhouse of ideas, all bouncing off each other, all fired up with the passion to make our horses the best we possibly could\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Next episode: Craig and Prue reach their goals \u2013 top-level competition\u2026<\/p>\n

\"prueteachingP20\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Prue on Coaching<\/h2>\n

With two very small children, Prue Barrett has let her eventing career take somewhat of a back seat right now. Sure she is very serious about taking the family stallion, Staccato, to Grand Prix dressage, but when it comes to eventing, her role has been more of a teacher \u2013 and sometime understudy to National Eventing Coach, Wayne Roycroft\u2026<\/p>\n

Do you learn to become a teacher or is it something that comes naturally?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think you do learn, yes. I also think that some people have a gift in that area \u2013 but I think even if you have the gift of teaching you still need to develop it. You don\u2019t just have it, and that\u2019s it. You have to work at it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the United States, they really venerate the great coaches \u2013 and it is regarded as a skill just like being a top competitor \u2013 whereas in Australia, teaching is something you do so you can go and compete yourself the next weekend. Teaching is not treated with a lot of seriousness in Australia\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it used to be. When Franz Mairinger was the coach, there was a certain amount of respect. I can remember my mother talking about coaches that used to come up our way. She used to talk about people like Karl de Jurenak, they were names, and people would go \u2013 oh yeah, so and so is coming. Now I don\u2019t know that it\u2019s not a bit of a culture thing. Is it any different in our schools? I don\u2019t think teachers get a lot of respect in our schools either.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI know when I decided to do horses full time, it was like \u2018teaching, I\u2019m going to have to do this to earn a living\u2026\u2019 And I wasn\u2019t very good at it at all. When I was working for Heath and Rozzie I think I used to average one lesson a week.\u201d<\/p>\n

They never came back?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had the same one, they just had to be fairly resilient. In my situation I think it was more of a confidence thing. I don\u2019t know whether I was so much a bad teacher, just that I didn\u2019t have a lot of confidence in the teaching.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I left school, I actually wanted to do primary teaching, I did work experience and my reaction was that I didn\u2019t mind teaching those five children – but I don\u2019t want to touch the other 25! I decided it wasn\u2019t for me. But now I am involved in coaching and managing, I am actually teaching a subject that I really enjoy, so that has completely turned it around.\u201d<\/p>\n

So where did you find those skills?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had a lot of lessons with Vicki and Wayne Roycroft, obviously with Heath, with Rod Brown, I\u2019ve been to a George Morris clinic, Joe Fargis clinic. I found it intriguing, in all those lessons \u2013 apart from the ones with Heath and Wayne, they are usually private lessons \u2013 are group lessons, and in group lessons you can really take on board the way those coaches are communicating with riders in the group. If you have a really good coach, it\u2019s amazing how they can get that person to improve.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor example, in a George Morris clinic, I find it interesting how he focuses on a couple of things \u2013 you can watch a rider go through an exercise he wants, and you are wondering \u2018why isn\u2019t he saying something about the rider\u2019s position?\u2019 because it seems to be blatantly obvious \u2013 and then you realise it is because he is just concentrating on this one thing. I think he thinks, ‘I\u2019ll get this right, and the other will probably be right as a result, and if it\u2019s not, we\u2019ll worry about it then’. I think that is a really big thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"marCPpage20fence\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cAs a coach, the other big thing is to learn to watch everything. That\u2019s a real practice thing. The easiest example is trotting through a grid. A trot pole, a bounce of cross rails, and then one stride to an oxer, and two strides to another oxer. Something simple like that. It\u2019s really interesting \u2013 a good coach will be able to say, the hands did this, the legs did that, the pace was like this, the horse had its ears pricked looking at this fence, they can give you a whole story\u2026 but they might only say to the pupil \u2018next time you come through there, I need your heel to be lower.\u2019 And sometimes people watching on, go \u2018what about this!?\u2019 But you are not going to do it all in one lesson.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you say to that rider, come again because that time your heel was up, you hooked it in the teeth, you sat on its back and you were too slow on the approach and afterwards you had no control. The pupil goes, \u2018wow, where do I go to from there?\u2019 That might have been exactly what happened, but a good coach is going to say, \u2018OK now I need you to do that again, and this time when you come in I want you to think about having the trot a little more active, and I want you to try and do a crest release and hold the mane as you jump the oxer at the end, then halt.\u2019 Then the pupil thinks, \u2018this is my job\u2019 this, this, this and this. And because riding has so much to do with feel, they will do all that, and halt the horse at the end. And you say to them, did that feel okay? I\u2019m careful not to say \u2018good\u2019 \u2013 and that gets the communication happening. \u2018Oh yeah, I felt a lot more stable that time. I didn\u2019t feel like he was going to jump me off.\u2019 That\u2019s good, let\u2019s do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

I was lucky enough one time to have a few lessons with Jennie Loriston-Clarke, and she was fascinating, because she would pick on your weakest link and really focus on it and get you working on it, but before she finished the lesson, she would find something that you did well, and send you out of the school feeling really positive\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe people learn unless they are confident. It\u2019s a bit like horses don\u2019t learn unless they are relaxed, and it\u2019s a bit the same with people. Keep them confident. It\u2019s no good saying to someone, just relax, just relax\u2026 If they are really struggling with something, you\u2019ve got to give them something that enables them to relax.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSay you are teaching jumping and the rider is really worried and tense, if you say, okay I want you to go through there and hold the mane while you jump that fence. You will find in just holding the mane, suddenly their upper body is going to get a little bit of support \u2013 they can use that to help them \u2013 then they are going to get better, then they will relax. You\u2019ve got to give them tools to get to where you want them to be. You can\u2019t just say \u2018relax\u2019 and it will go well. It doesn\u2019t work like that \u2013 relax and you fall off.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019ve got to say, I want you to do this with your leg, do this with your hands, and I want your eyes to look there. Then it fits \u2013 practical and simple, and you\u2019ve got to try and get into their heads, so you\u2019ve got to find out what they are thinking. If for example, you\u2019ve given those instructions, like I want you to hold the mane, and I want you to look up, and it\u2019s still a bit wild, then you have to try and find out \u2013 why didn\u2019t they hold the mane? But you can\u2019t say \u2013 you didn\u2019t hold the mane\u2026 there must be a reason they didn\u2019t hold the mane. 90% of the time they just forget, but they forget because they are concentrating on doing something else. That\u2019s where you say, okay, remember when we jump this, you\u2019ve got to hold the mane, and they go \u2018Gee, that\u2019s right, I forgot!\u2019 Okay just do it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow if they forget again the next time, then you\u2019ve got to find out why they are forgetting. It could be something like ‘every time I come off the left rein he shies looking at that wing over there’ – so they’ve got this bit of history in their head, and they are thinking about the history and not remembering to hold the mane. Then I\u2019ll say, okay when you come to the placing pole, you\u2019ve got to be thinking, two strides over the cross rail, and then the next cross rail, and I\u2019ve got to hold the mane here. That\u2019s what you are going to be saying to yourself when you come to that fence. You\u2019ve got to piece it together, it\u2019s got to be really simple, and you\u2019ve got to make it obvious without making them feel like an idiot.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be honest, there is nothing I teach people that I haven\u2019t struggled with myself \u2013 I\u2019m not teaching someone something I haven\u2019t already felt. I don\u2019t believe I am a naturally gifted rider; most of what I do has been through a structured learning system. Yes, now it is a natural response, but hey, it wasn\u2019t a natural response ten years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n

Some people say that the really brilliant natural riders are not such good instructors because they have never really had to sit down and analyse what they are doing?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t think there is a general rule there. Some people do have a gift of teaching, and some people we talk about as gifted riders \u2013 now if they happen to have both, great. They are not always going to have both\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\"CPmarPage22\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there are some good instructors that are not good competitors?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely. I also think there is going to be a personality thing, but is that any different from when we were at school. Some people had a favourite teacher who you thought was an absolute idiot. I think the personality match is important.\u201d<\/p>\n

You find it different teaching women riders from men riders? And that some very elite women riders tend to distrust their own strategies and tactics, and needed more support than the guys\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cWe all know men and women are different, I\u2019m not re-inventing the wheel, and I think women definitely have more of that peripheral vision happening. There\u2019s a lot more going on \u2013 I think mostly men have much more of a one-track mind. Right we are going, this is what we are doing, let\u2019s go and do it. Women factor in a lot of other things, and I think there are pro\u2019s and con\u2019s in both those approaches.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor the women that\u2019s great because they pay attention to detail. Everything has been covered \u2013 they\u2019ve thought about everything \u2013 but then you\u2019ve got to be able to think about everything, match it together and then go with the tunnel vision. The other side of the coin, when someone just has the tunnel vision, their equipment might not be up to scratch, or the horse\u2019s fitness. I know with teaching I think it goes much more into managing, when I am working with the elite riders, I was surprised that some of the top girls \u2013 like Sammi McLeod, Claudia Graham, Olivia Bunn \u2013 how much they wanted you to be there. I thought they were doing a brilliant job and I was surprised \u2013 this is before I got to know them so well \u2013 how much they wanted you there.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I shouldn\u2019t have been surprised because I know myself when I was doing a dressage test, or walking the course, or whatever, at a major event \u2013 I needed Craig there, I needed Heath there, I needed Wayne there. They might not have been giving me information every second of the way but that was part of my support group. They needed to be there. I remember specifically one time at Lochinvar they were all standing there, and it was like, oh well who\u2019s going to tell her, and I remember cantering past and saying \u2018well if ONE of you could say something that would be great!\u2019 They were like, don\u2019t pick me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI think everyone is unique in that situation, you need the people who are going to allow you to perform to your best, and I think that\u2019s where the sports psychology comes into it. Gosh Pippa Funnell would have to be the prime example, she\u2019s quite open about how she is unable to ride at that top level without that support and knowledge and psychology, to help.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a very general term, sports psychology. I think in every very good competition rider, even though they might not want to have anything to do with the sports psychologist, I think naturally they are able to control their competition environment. They do that without thinking about it \u2013 when you find someone who is an excellent rider and very good in their training program but they keep on not producing the goods when it counts, it doesn\u2019t mean they are not competitive enough, or they don\u2019t want it enough \u2013 you can definitely get them an edge by helping them in the sports psychology department.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a little bit of a tricky area. The sports psychologists that have been involved in eventing, say that the eventers are the most mature athletes that they have ever dealt with \u2013 and that is because eventers are used to managing so many things. They are quite used to managing their own anxiety levels, they are used to dealing with the horse and the crew that goes with it, it\u2019s not like put your swimmers, just go out and get into the pool \u2013 there\u2019s so many other issues that come into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

So how does someone work out whether the coach they are going to is a good one or not? There are a lot of fakes and unqualified people who call themselves riding teachers or trainers\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAbsolutely. I think with the NCAS system that we have in Australia basically its quite easy to find out who is qualified and who isn\u2019t \u2013 and who has insurance! If you have never had a lesson and you don\u2019t know where to start, the first thing is to get on the EFA website and find a qualified instructor in your area. They must be qualified with the NCAS.\u201d<\/p>\n

But I know a lot of NCAS instructors and some are fabulous and some I wouldn\u2019t trust to teach a dolphin to swim?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIf you get a situation where someone is really keen on eventing. They have been through the Pony Club system, 14 \/ 15 years old, and they have already been to a couple of events and they are thinking, I am really keen on this, I need some help \u2013 first they find out who the NCAS instructors are. A lot of them are going to be competing at the events near you \u2013 watch them, watch what they do. Try and establish, are they where you want to be.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOkay not every good coach is going to be competing, but if you are trying to find out, do a little research, talk to people, that\u2019s the best thing. If you look at your list and there are three possible coaches, all within an hour, find out if anyone else has been to them. You might find out \u2013 \u2018oh yeah, I went to that person but they were really tough on my horse and I just didn\u2019t understand what they were on about\u2026\u2019 It\u2019s got to be that simple.\u201d<\/p>\n

To give your coach a chance how often do you need to work with them?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI think you have got to have regular lessons. That could be once a week, once a fortnight, but it is important to be regular. If you come every single week, you may find that you only get a couple of things out of that lesson, if you have a coach that is going to ride your horse, that means they are going to ride it one out of six rides in the week, assuming it has a day off. So once week, your coach is on the horse \u2013 that does huge things and you will be surprised how quickly that starts to take shape.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow if once a week is not within the realms of financial possibility, once a fortnight. It does depend on your financial situation, no doubt about it. But if you can afford once a week, do it \u2013 you\u2019ll be amazed how much that can fast track you. Every time you go for a lesson, don\u2019t expect to drive home going, ‘wow, it was just amazing!’ It\u2019s not going to happen every single week. There\u2019s going to be times you might drive away and go, ‘oh gee, I don\u2019t know whether he went very well today, or whether I learnt anything.’ I would say in that situation, just turn up next week. Often your coach is going to say, \u2018how did your horse go during the week?\u2019 and you find that something during the week might have been better. Then you realise that your horse is going better. So don\u2019t think that the lesson is the be-all and end-all. The coach is obviously working on something for the next time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can remember when I was having regular lessons with Heath and I\u2019d have a lesson, and I\u2019d think, great, I think I\u2019ve got this. And I would go back whenever the next lesson was, and he would be totally on another tangent, TOTALLY! And I used to think, what\u2019s he on now? I had this, and now we are heading in another direction. And I would be shot off down another road of discovery. Oh boy, this is just too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNow I am a coach, I can so see how that happens. Because you turn up the next time, and you\u2019ve got that now \u2013 let\u2019s move on. I would say if you keep getting taught the same thing week after week, either you are not getting it, or the coach doesn\u2019t have enough imagination. I don\u2019t believe you should be being told the same thing week after week, if you need the same thing told to you, a good coach will tell it in a different way. Do a different exercise. It\u2019s going to come across in a different way. As a coach my most depressing lesson is when I don\u2019t feel that the pupil has got where I\u2019m coming from \u2013 then I think, \u2018just how do I get that message across\u2019. Sometimes I think a horse can go badly and I feel bad about that, because I think the rider is doing a really good job and the horse is just not responding, so you\u2019ve got to say, \u2018stick at this and it will come\u2019. I think it is important that you tell the pupil that \u2013 you\u2019ve got to say, these are really tough times but we\u2019ve just got to keep slugging away, we\u2019ve got to be resilient and we will come out the other side. Riding wasn\u2019t meant to be easy \u2013 if it was easy every mug would be doing it\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
