I will discuss and assess the issues that are affecting the performance of the horse or confidence of the rider and work to eliminate them. Each lesson is geared to how the combination is performing at the time so that any new challenges can be dealt with without being affected by any preset agenda.
I am happy to teach at all levels and find it rewarding to help people achieve their personal goals at whichever level that may be - from waiting to improve the rideability and therefore enjoyment of your hacks, building towards low level competitions, right through to competition training for all aspects of all the affiliated disciplines.
