This year I will be back to doing a bit more coaching, message me to book in at your own yard (limited dates/times) or if you want to organise a clinic at your yard.

🥕 TRT method/groundwork for riding
💭 Confidence building (Centre 10 foundation coach)
🦄 Poles
💃 Dressage
🐎 Eventing prep

I still do my regular slot at Swanley Riding Club every fortnight on a Thursday evening and go to Pitforthie equestrian most months.

I am looking for help to organise a spook busting clinic and a confidence building focused clinic if anyone is interested and can help organise.

Message me for more info on dates or any questions.

Very excited to be hosting some sessions with Robo Cob on 11th March, I'll also be teaching in the afternoon at Swanley so you could work on your position with Robo Cob then have an afternoon session to put it into practice on your horse.

12/01/2023

Does anyone fancy an analysis and goal setting session? This is something I do personally and love doing at this time of year even though it's cliche.

Off horse somewhere warm with a nice group. Comment below or message if this would be of interest!

Thank you to everyone who has trained with me this year! Hope you all are having an amazing festive period and happy new year when it comes.

Being trusted to give advice to you and your precious horses is the best feeling ever and something I never take for granted.

This year has been a funny one as I started competing more again and moved my day job but my coaching is still very much going to be continuing so I can't wait to have more breakthroughs with you all in 2023 🙌

Who would be interested in some virtual confidence and goal-setting sessions?

I really want to give you guys some more tailored mind-set techniques that have turned my own (and some of my clients) confidence around. Comment below or message me if this would be of interest to you.

Some questions I have:

💫Would you want 1-2-1 or a small group? I think small groups are super beneficial but what would you prefer?

💫Weekends, weekday evenings or weekday lunchtime?

💫Any specific topics you want to see?
