Lily Payne Dressage

16/09/2024

There is nothing I enjoy more than helping riders progress within their dressage training.

Often clients come to me feeling overwhelmed or lost and helping them find a way forward suitable for that specific horse and rider is my absolute passion.

This autumn I’m able to work with more riders that want to develop and expand their knowledge, to bring out the best in themselves and their horses.

If you experience similar frustrations when riding on your own, send me a message!
📍Based at Sheepgate Equestrian

With the busy competition season coming to a close, I now have more availability for teaching at Sheepgate…

If you’re wanting to boost your confidence or receive further guidance within your flatwork, ready for the winter season, then send me a message!

Happy to work with all level horses and ponies… Availability through the week and also some weekend availability.

Any questions please send me a message😃

🌟 Important Information! I've decided to take a little break from accepting new clients for the next few months. The diary is looking super busy and I want to ensure enough time to fully focus on my current riders that are booked in.
Stay tuned for more updates! 🔒

A fantastic Sunday training clients 🌟
We’re super lucky at Sheepgate Equestrian to have the indoor school to support us during the winter months!

I’m really looking forward to the season ahead as I have had several horses in for training and I’m looking forward to supporting those clients when they take back the reins. I also have welcomed lots of new clients over the last few weeks and it’s been a pleasure to meet some new combinations!

If you’re interested in training with me at Sheepgate, feel free to send me a message with any questions 😊

What a special day, myself and Voom’s first Inter 1 is complete 🎉

My goal was to ride an Inter 1 by end of the year and last night a few friends convinced me that we were ready so we danced around the arena today!
Delighted with 65% with this being the start of our journey at this new level…

My team, I couldn’t do it without you! The journey hasn’t been straightforward but you all work super hard to help me and Voom perform our best so thank you all! Special thanks to Lisa Hopkins for the extra push we needed earlier in the week…

My parents, Sarah Payne and Mark Payne, my biggest supporters, thank you for everything, words can’t describe how grateful I am!
And to Lynne Crowden, it’s a privilege to ride this horse and he is truly living the dream here at Sheepgate with 5* treatment 🥰

Let’s celebrate 🍾
