About Me

VC Equestrian is my fully licensed and insured riding school, which is linked to the Pony Club.

With 20 years of coaching experience, I have worked with riders of all ages and abilities, from young children taking their first steps into the horse world to adults returning to or developing their riding.

I run a wide range of sessions including alternative provision, home education programmes, pony days, and Pony Club badge work. I’m passionate about creating an inclusive, supportive environment where every rider can grow in confidence and skill.

My specialist strengths lie in coaching nervous riders, using a combination of NLP techniques and a strong focus on biomechanics to help them understand both their mindset and their body in the saddle.

I take great pride in preparing pupils for their Pony Club tests and British Horse Society qualifications, guiding them towards achieving their goals with confidence and competence.
