About me

I am passionate about helping riders of all levels build confidence, develop their skills and strengthen the partnership with their horse through friendly, encouraging and individually tailored coaching, making learning both enjoyable and rewarding.

With over 15 years of experience competing a variety of horses at different levels of eventing, up to 4* Advanced, I bring a wealth of practical experience to my coaching. I strongly believe in combining hands on experience with professional qualifications and continued learning. I have progressed through the BHS professional qualifications to achieve BHSI Performance Coach in Complete Horsemanship (Stage 5) and also hold a UK Coaching Certificate (Level 3).

I am an Accredited Pony Club Coach and Chief Instructor for the Tedworth Pony Club, a role I thoroughly enjoy. It gives me the opportunity to support and encourage young riders, helping them develop their knowledge, confidence and skills as they progress through their riding journey.

My popular Saturday Grids & Poles clinics are designed to build confidence, improve technique and develop the partnership between horse and rider in a friendly, encouraging environment. I also run annual Adult and Children's Summer Camps, which are always incredibly popular and bring together all the best elements of learning, fun, friendship and camaraderie.

My coaching approach is friendly, positive and tailored to each individual horse and rider. I enjoy helping riders clarify their goals, identify their training needs and work through achievable steps towards success. I believe that learning should be enjoyable, rewarding and confidence-building for both horse and rider.

I welcome riders of all levels who have a passion for learning, are keen to improve and are open to trying new ideas and approaches. Whether your aim is to gain confidence, strengthen your partnership with your horse or progress in competition, I would love to help you on your journey.
