About Me

I started my riding career aboard a piebald Shetland pony called Nippy who thought nothing of dragging me face down through the mud as he tore around the field...luckily things improved as I benefited from excellent tuition both in the UK and abroad and have successfully competed across dressage, show jumping and eventing disciplines.

​

Now as a fully qualified and registered BHS and UKCC coach, my main aim is to offer my clients the same sort of friendly personalised mentoring approach that made a real difference to my own riding. I like to base my coaching on sound, well proven principles that are safe and personally suited to each horse and rider combination. I believe very strongly that a comprehensive understanding of why we are doing something is paramount to building the firm foundations to success. I strive to achieve horse and rider working in harmony together through developing a common understanding.

​

Being a BHS registered instructor means you can be assured that I am fully insured, my equine specific first aid is up to date, I have been CRB checked and undergone child protection training and that I am required to undergo continuing professional development.

​

This is where it all starts!

Establishing correct principles from the beginning whilst having fun ensures huge corrections are not needed further down the line. I teach younger riders the whys of what I am asking them to do so they grow up as thinking riders with a sound knowledge foundation.
