๐Private Riding Lessons โ On Your Own Horse๐
I am opening a limited number of lesson spaces for riders who would like to improve their partnership, confidence and communication with their own horse.
With more than 40 years of experience with horses, training in Germany and qualifications as a riding and vaulting coach, I bring a slightly different approach to my lessons.
I pay close attention to the riderโs seat, balance and aids, and explain things in a practical, easy-to-understand way. Small changes can often make a surprisingly big difference to how your horse responds.
Lessons can focus on:
โข Improving your seat, balance and confidence๏ฟฝ
โข Clearer and more effective aids๏ฟฝ
โข Helping your horse become more balanced and responsive
๏ฟฝโข Working through a particular difficulty
๏ฟฝโข Pole work, groundwork or lunging
โข Building a happier and more connected partnership
โข I also offer sitting-lunge lessons, where the horse is controlled from the ground so the rider can concentrate fully on their position. Using carefully selected exercises inspired by my vaulting background, these lessons help improve core strength, stability in the saddle, coordination and balanceโwithout having to focus on steering the horse.
All levels and disciplines are welcome. You do not need to be a competition riderโjust someone who would like to understand and work with their horse more effectively.
Private lessons are 45 minutes and $90 and can be held at your own property or an agreed location. Travel fees may apply depending on distance.
My philosophy has always been simple:
Bringing horses and people closer together.
Please send me a private message if you would like more information or would like to book a lesson. Spaces will be limited.
