My training principles are based on classical lines. Classical riding is often referred to as an art and when applied properly the horse and rider combination is a pleasure to watch, moving gracefully and seamlessly as one, without force. This, combined with the application of modern equine science, bio-mechanics and equine behaviour forms the basis of my teaching, as only by understanding your horse both physically and mentally can you find true partnership.

 

I treat every rider and horse as an individual and my aim is to encourage and support both, enabling them to communicate and work as a team to unlock their potential, whilst keeping the work enjoyable and appropriate to their development, the emphasis being on the  correct not flashy. For example I might include pole exercises, lunging and stretch exercises to enable your horse to work to optimum performance.

 

I teach all levels and disciplines, but have particular empathy with novice and nervous riders, and riders who want to develop a true partnership with their horse. Training can be delivered to suit your needs, individual, shared or group lessons as required.
