- Confused what a half halt means?
- Frustrated that you can’t work your horse in a consistent outline without lots of gadgets?
- Afraid of jumping?
- Fed up of instructors that just shout and never listen?
- Frightened of asking those silly questions and never really understanding?

My aim is to give instruction that is a little different, being a patient instructor that will take you and your horse back to basics using the ‘Scales of Training’, allowing you to work together as a team, as highlighted my some of my clients:
‘Liz has been teaching me for over two years now and I have seen a positive improvement in my horse which shows the lessons are paying off! I can recommend Liz to anyone wanting to improve their own riding. Her best quality is that she doesn’t see the need to shout. In a world full of harsh riding instructors, Liz is a calm, friendly and reliable instructor who is aware that riding is a hobby to me and gives me tailor-made lessons, keeping the fun element within the lessons.’ Pia
‘I have had riding lessons from Liz for three years and can now confidently jump at local shows. I find Liz’s style of teaching to be very calm. She is not afraid to take the rider back to complete basics and break things down into bite-sized, easy to understand chunks. Her manner is quiet that keeps both horse and rider confident to try new things. Liz has a way of handling people that enables one to ask very basic questions without feeling stupid. Her lessons are fun and she doesn’t mind if you get the giggles.’ Anne
All levels of riders / horses taken for flatwork/ dressage/ jumping. Also available for schooling/ holiday cover.
Liz offers a professional, knowledgeable service that is perhaps slightly different to the ‘traditional instructor’, being patient and calm, allowing the rider to ask those questions they’ve never dared to ask before like “what is a half halt?”. Liz’s goal is to allow her riders to understand exactly why things are going wrong and how they can begin correcting problems, in a logical, easy to understand way. “We’ve all had months of ‘banging our heads against a wall’ feeling that we are never going to get that correct canter lead or keep our hands up and still, while the horse works in an outline.”
Liz will teach you the ‘classical way’ of working your horse, moving up the ‘Scales of Training’ while also concentrating on you as a rider – “after all your horse can’t work properly if you are sitting incorrectly!” It’s amazing how quickly riders can feel more confident and positive about their riding without the use of gadgets, allowing horse and rider to work in harmony. |
