Field Director Assistant Course (in person) - free In-person training Free Formattemp

"Nuove Frontiere Lavoro," in collaboration with the training organization "Idee Insieme" and thanks to the "Formatemp" fund, is offering a "Field Director Assistant - Equestrian Show Jumping" course in Naples.

The purpose of the course is to train the field staff who assist the Field Director (also known as the "chef de piste" or "course designer") during national equestrian show jumping events. The course, which is purely practical in nature, is held at the user company IL CAVALIERE COUNTRY CLUB SSD srl , which will provide the equipment, tools, and spaces necessary for its efficient execution (fields, show jumping courses, horses, rooms, etc.). As this is an in-person course, COVID-19 health and safety regulations will be strictly observed.

During a show jumping competition, the Field Director must be supported by assistants capable of providing assistance and support. The specific content of this course focuses on the training of these assistants. They must be able to correctly interpret the layout and technical construction of the show jumping courses created by the "Chef de piste" and therefore intervene, if necessary, during a competition, respecting the horse and rider and any necessary course repairs.

OBJECTIVES: At the end of the course, the assistant to the “chef de piste” will be able to:

  • Correctly interpret the show jumping courses technically created by the “Chef de piste” in compliance with the Regulations.
  • Identify the differences between “race field” and “test field”
  • Identify the main differences between building an indoor and outdoor course
  • Identify the main differences between a grass pitch and a sand pitch
  • Correctly adopt the intervention procedures indicated by the Field Director during the race with respect for the horse, rider and restoration of the course
  • Know the general principles of equine ethology, in order to identify the needs and instincts of horses
  • work as a TEAM during the race: collaborate and share goals.
