One-to-one tuition

I travel out to your facilities to work with you and your own horse or pony, charging £35 for an hour of tuition, which includes my travel costs.

Would you like your horse to be more responsive and relaxed in general handling, schooling, hacking and competing?

Lessons involve taking the time to consider the way we approach situations with our horses. I aim to help you work with your horse's mind to preserve their willingness and so work towards maintaining a horse that is simultaneously responsive to your aids, has a relaxed state of mind and a softness in his/ her body.

Are you having a specific problem with hacking out alone, napping, leading, handling, shoeing, loading or difficulties at shows?
In situations like these, it is important to consider the horse’s natural instinct and then work to redirect their attention. Problems can become an opportunity for the horse and rider to regain trust and confidence in each other. Along the way we learn so much about adapting to each moment and refining how we present what we're asking of the horse.

Do you want to improve your riding?
Lessons are focussed on what you would like help with. This can involve things like improving your balance and developing clarity, consistency, feel and timing when asking things of your horse or pony.

Have you ever lost your nerve around horses or when riding?
I also work alongside people who wish to regain their confidence. This partly involves developing leadership qualities and creating consistent boundaries with your horse.
   
 

You're welcome to call me to discuss your specific situation with your horse and how lessons may be of help.
