Testimonials

Lessons offer you a variety of ways to obtain help whether you are interested in competitive dressage, general schooling improvements, natural horsemanship or looking to become a more confident and effective rider and handler.

Whether you are looking for somewhere to base your horse permanently or just to come in for a short stay of intensive training, we have a variety of livery options to suit your needs.

There are a variety of courses and clinics run both here at Centre Lines and other host venues. They cover a wide range of topics and include those by other visiting specialists.

Over the years I have worked with some lovely horses and people and ridden for some wonderful owners. Here are just a few recent testimonials from some of my clients.

Although I am only a ten-minute drive from superb hacking in Forestry Commission woodland nearby, I am very grateful to my kind neighbours for allowing me access to their farmland, tracks and spinneys for off-road hacking. Not only does this provide a safe and varied training ground for youngsters but it is also an idyllic environment for pleasure riding.

I enjoy working at all levels to build confidence and create happy partnerships. My non-confrontational approach to training and handling has a wide-ranging appeal to riders across all the disciplines, irrespective of whether they wish to compete at the highest level or simply enjoy the day to day pleasure, and sometimes challenge, of owning their own horse.

Predominantly, I come from a competitive background and I love helping people achieve improvements with their own riding and competing at any level; plus my involvement with young stock and breeding, together with a keen interest in Natural Horsemanship, means that I can offer a diverse and comprehensive range of services, to a wide variety of clients and horses.

I particularly enjoy working with and starting young horses and going on to develop their further training and I also like trying to find solutions for remedial issues, spook busting and overcoming fears and phobias.
