Who can benefit from Professional Riding Lessons?
Whether you're a happy hacker, or an ambitious amateur rider moving into competition I can help you realise your riding goals.
I feel as at home in the saddle as I do training horses in the arena and, in addition to offering riding instruction to those with their own horses,
I'm also confident when it comes to training young horses or retraining those that have developed bad habits.
I'm as comfortable riding and training a Thoroughbred for a show jumping class as I am a Hanoverian for dressage, or a Welsh cob out on the trail thanks to my ability to impart the fundamental skills you need for success.
What You Can Expect
Whether you want a one-off session or a three-month set of lessons, my prices are affordable, and my commitment is 100%.
I always believe in a natural approach to training horses, and encourage lightness and patience in my riders, while prioritising the safety of horse and rider.
I aim to help you and your horse move together in harmony, producing a fluidity of movement and a disciplined performance that is as beautiful to watch as it is to ride.
Having realised that a highly pressured environment is not conducive to learning, I try to create a friendly, yet professional, space in which my clients, and their horses, can truly flourish.
Above all, I am passionate about my work, conscientious about my clients' safety and sensitive to the horse's needs.
