Dynavyte NZ Coaching Webinar Series

Practical Knowledge.  Stronger Coaches.  Better Pony Clubs.

Thank you to everyone who joined Nicola Ward and Louise Ilton for our fifth webinar, Safety, Risk & Rider Readiness, on 29 September.

It was another great interactive session, with coaches from around the country sharing their own experiences and ideas around safety, managing risk, rider and horse readiness, and knowing when to progress, adapt, step back or stop.

There are five more FREE webinars to come, running fortnightly through to December. Members and non-members are welcome, there is no registration required, and you can join from anywhere.

Missed the first five? No problem! Each webinar stands alone, so join the topics that interest you, or come along to them all. Recordings and resources from previous webinars are also available below.

Up Next: ECTP - Coach Development & Support with Kay Hogan & Nicola Ward

📅 Tuesday 13 October 2026

🕢 7.30 pm

💻 Live online via Microsoft Teams

⏱ Approximately 90 minutes 💡 Practical and interactive📄 Downloadable resources​​​​​​​

Kay and Nicola will take you through the Equestrian Coaches Training Programme (ECTP), from D/D+ through to A/H, and talk about coaching experience, theory, mentoring, practical assessment, FastTrack and the different ways coaches can be supported through the pathway.

We want to hear from you — what makes coach development difficult, what is working well, and what would make ECTP more achievable for coaches?

What is ECTP, how does it work, and what can it offer you as a Pony Club coach?

Whether you’re already working through ECTP, thinking about starting, mentoring another coach, or have never really understood what it’s all about, this webinar is for you.



Record Your Webinar Learning

The Dynavyte NZ Coaching Webinars can be recorded as coach development: courses, clinics and seminars attended, rather than as practical coaching hours.

Record the webinar title and date on your Coach Development Record.

We encourage you to have a quick conversation with your Head Coach or mentor about what you learnt and ask them to confirm your record.

This also applies when watching a recorded webinar.
