About me

Freelance Coach based in Lanarkshire.(Happy to travel further afield for groups)

Private tuition and small group coaching offered in  both flatwork and jumping. Riding school cover available also.

Available for Riding Clubs and Pony Club ( for which I ty to keep learning fun with plenty of games and polework) 

Having previously worked and trained in a variety of  settings and disciplines for many years, including   International dressage and event yards ,livery / hunting yards I have good all round knowledge and experience to draw from.

I have also worked in BHS approved establishments and have tutored students to attain their BHS Stages and BHSAI qualifications and young people to attain their Pony Club  tests.

I have a lifetimes experience of producing my own ponies and horses to a very high level including competing in Scottish WHP Teams.

As a senior rider I realised my dream of qualifying for and competing  at the British Dressage National Finals, representing British Dressage Scotland Region at Novice Level and competing at a  Senior Home International Event at Elementary  Level.

I have also had lots of fun and success competing at  Open Riding Club Team Level in Dressage and Showjumping, 

My passion is helping riders whatever their age and/or abilities to build  a happy partnership with their horse or pony and to realise their goals.

I like to get the basics correct and set small bitesize, easily achievable exercises  for both horse and rider that are easily understood and that can built on in a progressive way.
