THE CORNER STONES OF CONFIDENT RIDING

Educated riding and horsemanship skills

A supple, balanced, confident and happy horse

A balanced and secure position

Belief in your own abilities and potential

Whatever our riding and horse skills are, whatever we want to achieve, most of us need someone to be our eyes on the ground, to offer advice and direction, and very importantly, to believe in us and give us encouragement and support.

One of the biggest barriers to success is of course our own confidence, and with my qualifications and experience* as a horse and rider trainer, and also as a life-coach, together with my background as a competition rider (who used to be terrified!) you can be sure that you will get the support, encouragement, skills and understanding that you need to grow in confidence.

I love working with all types of horses and their people :-) so you don't necessarily have to be a competition rider, have any experience or be ambitious to benefit from my training, I am really happy to work with all levels of horses and riders.  I specialise in the four corner stones of confident riding and find it hugely rewarding helping my students towards their goals... whatever they may be, and I am passionate about working 'with' horses to advance our relationship with them in an intelligent, respectful and natural way.
