About Me

I have over 30 years experience and teach all levels, ages and abilities for flatwork, jumping and rider biomechanics. 
I am also an EQ Bands Expert Coach and Stockist, and trained with Dee So'oialo at the Dynamic Performance Hub.
I hold clinics in various locations for EQ Bands and also coach for Retraining of Racehorses and the Pony Club, as an accredited coach.
Willing to travel for individuals and groups.
I firmly believe that when you book a lesson, it is yours not the coaches. I work with you, all my lessons are rider led.
Happy to work with anyone, including your normal coaches, to bring out the best in you and your horse.
I own two of my own horses, we have regular lessons in both flat and jump, there is no point in me coaching you if I am not up to date with my riding skills etc. Occasionally when work allows I compete in both showjumping and dressage, and am no stranger to nerves or confidence flying out the window, I am a normal person just like you and have probably experienced the same things you are going through.
There is always a way

I coach riders and horses of all levels and abilities. I teach jumping from the beginner upwards and can help with confidence at all levels. I firmly believe that it's your lesson and not mine. All lessons are client/rider lead, you're in charge of your lesson not me.
Confidence is so easy to lose and so hard to regain. Lessons are built around maintaining the level of confidence you have and building on that confidence bit by bit. And having a solid foundation or point at which if anything goes wrong you don't have to start right at the beginning again you go back to what you're good at and gain confidence from that point.

Jump Lessons can start at one pole on the floor and go upwards. Gridwork, poles, single fences  walls to oxers and uprights if you have a particular problem. Cross Country and Arena Eventing coaching are all available to, from the small, simple fences to larger more technical ones.
