Testimonial from long time client; Wendi Williamson (NZ top dressage rider and World Cup Final rep in Las Vegas 2020)
"Coralie Williams has been involved in my dressage pathway for many years. Coralie taught me very early in my transition from eventing to dressage, providing very good basic skills training that all riders need to establish with their horses. Being a former Grand Prix dressage rider Coralie knows what is needed to build a foundation to Grand Prix and I value this knowledge. Coralie comes to our barn on a regular basis to observe my riding and training, provide ideas where problems arise and help me focus on keeping my position where I want it to be. I recommend Coralie as a trainer to riders of all levels." https://www.facebook.com/waitekaurifarm/

"I have worked with Coralie Williams and her pupils for close to a decade now, we work well together as we speak the same language. I really appreciate Coralies relaxed and straightforward approach to Dressage training, she consistently develops horses and riders up through the grades while keeping the welfare of the horse paramount. Coralie has a great eye and I confidently recommend her as a coach to any level rider." https://www.brettparbery.com.au/
