About me

I coach a wide range of horse-and-rider partnerships, from grassroots and novice riders through to affiliated competitors, including riders with additional needs. My coaching is individual, supportive and goal-focused, with horse welfare always at the forefront.

My Coaching Strengths
•    Developing confidence and communication between horse and rider.
•    Tailoring sessions to suit each individual partnership.
•    Developing correct, effective and sympathetic riding.
•    Building strong, positive partnerships.
•    Competition preparation and support.
•    Coaching across Dressage, Show Jumping and Eventing.
•    Encouraging riders to understand why they are doing something, not just how.
•    Adapting my coaching style to suit different ages, abilities and learning needs.
•    Working collaboratively with other professionals as part of a wider team.

I particularly enjoy seeing partnerships develop and grow and helping riders achieve their individual goals. I offer private, semi-private and group lessons, clinics and competition coaching, and travel nationwide. I am also a Pony Club Chief Instructor.
