With the days cooling down, I am available for more freelance coaching and riding in Ely/Soham and surrounding areas 📍

Coaching:
I provide both flatwork and jumping sessions and have experience coaching a wide range of riders, from children on the lead rein to confident adults competing affiliated. I have also coached within local pony clubs and camps. I hold my own clinics at Fenning Farm which are very popular and run monthly with many returning clients as well as new faces!

Riding:
I compete in novice dressage, eventing at 90cm and SJ at 100cm on my own home produced 7yo, as well currently retraining my 4yo ex racehorse. I am a confident, quiet and sympathetic rider who really enjoys working with a range of horses and getting the best out of them. I have my PC B test and am an active member of the Suffolk PC.

Fully insured UKCC L2 coach offering reasonable rates. Multiple references available.
Please PM or use the WhatsApp on my page to book in!🦄 ✨

What a lovely clinic today! Thank you everybody who came, you were all fabulous and what lovely horses. I hope you all learnt something and I look forward to seeing you all soon.

Just a little side note, I thought using a payment system would stop people from not letting me know they aren’t coming, but unfortunately it hasn’t! Please let me know if you can’t make your slot, my phone number is linked at the top of this page and it just makes everyone’s life a lot easier!

Please attach photos from today in the comments🦄🫶🏻

Bring water for you and your horse as well, it will be sunny!
See you all tomorrow🦄
