Elizabeth Pollard

Sympathetic Coaching specializing in confidence building.

I am an experienced, sympathetic coach. I have taught children to adults, Pony Club to private individuals and want to help each rider improve their relationship with their horse. I believe that every horse and rider should be treated as an individual with respect, empathy and hopefully enjoy my enthusiastic style.

About me

I started out as a Saturday girl in a hunting yard until I left school. I then worked in a large riding school and livery yard gaining qualifications and experience teaching. Working with all types of horses, riders and all levels. I did several part time equestrian college courses at this time. Gaining my BHSAI. Freelance work at a show jumping yard, continued teaching including private clients, hunting yard work, pony club camp assistant, grooming and showing up to County level with Mountain and Moorlands and a show cob for private owners. Horse Trailer driving included. Breaking 4 driving cobs, to ride. Working in a large Hunting and pony club yard full time including teaching at Pony club camp regularly competing and training with their lovely horses. Gained HGV license driving 2 horseboxes. I had been working in an office to concentrate on my horses which have varied from young to old, rescue to schooled. 

I have been on the BHS West Sussex Committee for 10 years organizing events. I had been helping with all aspects of running shows and clinics at Sands Farm Warnham. I look after Blaen Morlais de Guzman a shared traditional show cob and my husbands Driving Cob Tom. I was Senior Coach at Wildwoods Riding Centre, coaching everything from RDA, Pony Club to BHS Exam students even using the Racewood Dressage Simulator. I always am looking to expand my knowledge and have had coaching in Classical dressage, Horsemanship including clicker training for horses and dogs, I was a lifetime member of the TTT Trust at Shamley Green (International/Classical coaches in jumping and dressage), I have over 30 years experience and want animals to have the best holistic approach working with whatever professionals required by the horse or rider. I am currently training to finish my BHS Stage 4 Complete Coach exam and studying Bitting with Hilary Vernon achieving Level 3 Bitting Qualification.
