About Giles Carradine

I have over twenty years experience in coaching riders in all disciplines. I happily teach at all levels with regular clients ranging from riding club and leisure riders through to riders competing at top levels of affiliated eventing, SJ and dressage.  I currently coach several members of the BD pony squad, showjumpers competing at county shows, and eventers competing up to 2*.   I have competed and produced my own event horses and trained with David Trott, Stephen Hadley, Stephen Moore and Frank Bourney.


I feel as a rider I have a quiet but positive style which gives horses clear direction and that leads to a happy confident way of going. I place importance on the basics that need to be established as building blocks for all aspects of schooling meaning that youngsters are given the best possible start and older horses who have run into problems can be effectively re-educated. 

I want to help you achieve, enjoy your riding and build your partnership with your horse. My aim is to look at each combination as individuals and to taylor my teaching to your specific needs. We will set small goals together so you can see your progress towards your aims. I enjoy seeing your improvements and achievements. I am available to teach in Oxfordshire / Berkshire / Buckinghamshire and also further afield for half or day clinics.

We run a yearly training camp which is a fantastic way to really consolidate on training.
