Why I love my job:
➢ Cementing the partnership between horse and rider is so rewarding; as a rider myself, I know what it means to see and most importantly feel the harmony between horse and rider. Creating an understanding of the communication that is required to make a really true partnership.
➢ I love seeing my clients, of all ages and abilities progress along side their faithful friend. Being part of that journey is so rewarding.

➢ I am a fabulous confidence giver and ensure that my lessons are always fun. At the end of the day we spend a lot of money on our horses and their welfare is of paramount importance but it is also important that we enjoy that relationship.
➢ Technically I can help across all disciplines.
Testimonials:
Here are a few testimonials from some of my clients:
Andrea Last
“My ID has just been backed by Holly King and Zoe has been giving me lessons since he came home. I’ve never had a 3 year old unbacked horse before so it was a challenging project and I needed a coach to guide me. Zoe recommended Holly to me and the partnership with them has been fabulous. Zoe came with me on foot on my first hack out when he was home and has been giving me lessons twice a week since. Her riding is superb. She has not only given me confidence but she has also given Baby B confidence. When they are so young their brains are like a sponge so it is important that we do it right to give them the best chance. I didn’t want to mess it up, riding a baby that has just been backed is a lot different to riding a 5 year old. I am just so chuffed that Zoe has been on this journey with me. And we also have such a laugh. You can’t get better than that!”
Holly King Equestrian:
Zoe first started teaching me when I was 5 years old, she taught me through my pony club days as well as my journey into showing with my ponies. I have always respected her opinion and wealth of knowledge, hence why I still call on her to help me with my show horses. She is able to work with both horse and rider to get the best results. I would thoroughly recommend her as an instructor.
Pat Sharman
Zoe has trained me for approximately 15 years, throughout the fantastic and difficult times - which we all experience with horses. She has a skill of understanding both horse and rider, and has an empathetic approach to coaching with the wellbeing of the horse as her number one priority. She has a natural talent to connect with both horse and rider and her toolbox is full to the brim of ideas.
I currently own two horses who are both complex to train and manage, and without her support and guidance I doubt I would be the rider who is very close to competing at Grand Prix. We work as a team and my achievements are hers.
I fully recommend Zoe as someone who can work with grass roots (an area she loves) right up to Grand Prix. She will make you and your horse be the best you can be!
Gloria Outten
I have been having lessons with Zoe for some time and find her to be a very caring and inspirational Instructor.
She has a innate understanding of your and your horse's ability in order to help you achieve your goals.
Zoe is happy to teach you whether you are a Prelim or a Prix St.George rider.
