Mary Midkiff

I am a holistic coach who has re-located to the UK with many years of experience as an instructor, competitor in eventing and dressage, trainer of multiple breeds and disciplines, also trained Thoroughbreds on the racetrack in America, expert in the female rider biomechanics and saddle fit, two time internationally published author and clinician, as well as being an equine body worker utilizing many therapies and modalities. I like to partner with individuals and their horses creating a good working relationship understanding all aspects of how to create harmony, flow, safety and athleticism whether it's for pleasure or competition. I provide valuable ground work exercises for the owner/rider and the horse to use regularly to build their partnership and educate the horse to think and process rather just reacting. I am willing to travel, have my own car and work from Braintree in Essex. I have outstanding references and currently am a professor of equine studies at the College of West Anglia in Cambridge. I want to create a very positive sense of energy around every session as well as how we move forward. This creates comfort, relaxation, trust and confidence in you and your horse as we see what we can all achieve together. Pressure is unnecessary when we meet and explore what the horse will offer us
