Training & Coaching

teaching

I have an interest in teaching children and the idea of providing dressage training for under 12′s (BD Fledgings) was originally mine. I am able to offer comprehensive training to riders and horses in both dressage and jumping, from the most novice to those competing at National level.

Training is based on the scales of training and getting the basics right. I am able to give support and encouragement to the most nervous riders. The majority of my pupils compete at grass root level and I train using modern coaching methods. In addition to teaching private lessons I hold monthly dressage and jumping clinics, also regular Cross Country clinics.

Horse Training

I take horses for schooling both short and long term, competing them if required. Clients frequently send their horses for training when they go on holiday.

My facilities include a 20x60m flood lit arena, show jumps, and 20 acres of post and rail fenced paddocks for individual turnout.

Training Days

I present CPD Training Days and UKCC courses for the BHS. I am available throughout the UK for riding clinics and training days for BHS exams. I give training days towards all BHS Examinations up to Fellowship Level. I can travel to clients if required, both locally, nationally and internationally to give individual training, examining and clinics.

Client Achievements

My clients have competed at the National and Winter Dressage Championships, the Pet Plan Finals and the Trailblazers Dressage Finals. They have been to the British Dressage Sheepgate Under 21′s Championships and represented England.

They have competed at the Pony Club Dressage and Eventing Championships, also the Riding Club Championships.

Two of my pupils have been placed in the first three at the BD Talent Spotting Finals.

I train BE event riders and have trained pony riders jumping JAs at the highest level. Showing, my clients have qualified for the Horse of the Year Show, Olympia, NPS and BSPS Championships.
