YOUR KEYSTONE TO
CONFIDENCE AND SUCCESS
I am an experienced and qualified coach. If a friendly and approachable coach is what you are looking for, I’m here to help you and your horse.
I support and coach a select number of riders of different ages, abilities and disabilities to enjoy their riding and get the best from their horses or ponies. Some of my clients compete successfully but this is not the main focus of my teaching. My main aim is to help riders enjoy their riding.
I will enjoy helping you reach a point where you have confidence to enjoy riding your horse. Whether you want to put a toe in the water with your first competition, want to feel confident to school your horse on your own, or have the confidence to hack with a friend or on your own, I have the background and experience to help.
- It is so important to know what you want from your horse and how to ask in an understandable way!
- Balance, position and correct understandable aids are the keystones of riding and horse communication.
- I will coach you on these ‘keystones’ using a large variety of schooling exercises, incorporating cones for accuracy and suppleness, and poles for dexterity, concentration and interest.
Professional Riding Instruction with Advanced Communication Technology
Fi utilises a state-of-the-art Wireless Horse Instruction System that connects up to three riders simultaneously through earpieces, ensuring clear communication regardless of wind, aircraft noise, or distance across the arena or open countryside. This advanced radio headset and microphone system allows Fi to coach effectively from any position whilst observing horse and rider movement without her voice influencing the horses’ behaviour. Her sessions incorporate a dynamic variety of poles, cones, games, and grids designed to develop happy, supple, balanced, and coordinated horses and riders capable of excelling in dressage, jumping, hacking, and recreational riding.
Buying a horse?
I am available also, to advise on horse buying, which can be a difficult and daunting prospect on your own. With your all important wishes and input, I will prepare a personalised horse profile of what you are looking for in your new horse. It will be tailored to your experience, interests, time commitment, and to how you want to keep your horse.
