Happy New Year to you all and of course to your equine partners 🐴

Let's start 2026 as we mean to go on 💪

I work on a 1-1 teaching basis but also happy to do shared sessions where appropriate. I work regularly with clients (and horses!) with confidence loss and for my clients who know me, I really have a love and understanding for our natives and cobs!

Remember we also have access to the full range of equissage pulse equipment which all horses can absolutely benefit from...check their website for all the benefits https://www.niagaraequissage.com/

With recently opening more spaces for new clients for coaching and equissage, now my little girl has started nursery, here is a little bit about me 👇

In dressage I have competed both unaffiliated and affiliated, with 4 of my horses Alfie, Willis, Minty and Bea. I have competed to Elementary in affiliated competition and to Medium level unaffiliated. I have been a Trailblazers Championship Finalist from 2009 to 2014 at Prelim, Novice and Elementary levels and an individual bronze medalist at Elementary level at the British Dressage Inter County Team Competition in 2013. In 2015 I took Willis to the Sheepgate Under 25's Championships at Novice and in 2017 to the British Dressage Winter Scottish Regional Championship. In 2022 I took our rescue Gypsy Cob to the BD Associated Championships at Prelim, with a great result of Gold and Overall Champion. I have a real passion for cobs and natives...especially in the Dressage world! 🌎

I also have a first hand experience of confidence knocks/loss for riders but also their horses. So no matter where you're at in your journey please don't hesitate to get in contact.

Back on the ground, I adopt high standards of care and firmly believe that the well-being and work / life balance of each horse is critical to our success as riders, whatever discipline we choose to follow.

Unfortunately I'm going to have to change my payment terms which I really didn't want to do. It will now be cash only on the day of appointment. I will accept BACs if completed on the day of appointment and if not a £5 per session late payment charge will be added on.

My payment and cancellation T&Cs have always been the same and are pinned to the top of this page. Like everyone else I also have financial commitments and bills to pay.

Thank you to everyone who already does this. K 🫶🐴

Equissage back pad, leg boots, hand held units AND rider pad 😮 available for sessions with me. On it's own or linked in with lessons or schooling. Every horse, pony or rider could benefit. Why choose equissage and what are some of the things it could help improve?

✔ joint mobility
✔ local blood circulation
✔ venous drainage
✔ sore/cold backs
✔ respiratory ailments
✔ pulled ligaments
✔ laminitis
✔ kissing spine

*all clients booked in with lessons or schooling automatically receive equissage session HALF PRICE when used on the same day of booking*

Payments please for the week commencing October 27th.

Cancellation and payments terms pinned to the top of this page. If payments continue to be late I will either be only accepting cash on the day, (which I'd rather not do!) or I will introduce late payment fees.

Just like everyone else I also have bills to pay and animals to feed!

Thank you to everyone that has already squared up and I'll see you and your lovely horses at your next appointment. K 🐴

Hi all, after taking on quite a few new clients recently just a quick reminder of cancellation and payments terms.

⚫️ any session now cancelled on the day of booking will still be required to pay the full session rate, minus fuel charge if I didn't make the initial journey. Clients running late, lame horse once arrived etc the full amount Inc fuel will be to be paid.

⚫️ any session canceled within 48 hours (1 or 2 days before) will be required to pay 50% of the session price, minus fuel charge, to be able to rebook.

⚫️ EXTREME weather conditions, if you don't have access to indoor facilties, these won't apply due to safety/insurance

💵 all payments to be made by the end of the day on the day of service via bank transfer or cash

Thanks guys,
K 🐎

Thrilled to say that in the next coming weeks I will be opening some mid week space for lessons and/or equissage sessions!

Our beautiful Amaya starts nursery (😭😭😭) which gives me the opportunity now to become more flexible for my clients.

As always, I'm fully insured through SEIB and I adopt extremely high standards of bio-security for your horses but also my own.

I work on a 1-1 basis but also happy to do shared sessions where appropriate. I work regularly with clients (and horses!) with confidence loss and for my clients who know me, I really have a love and understanding for our natives and cobs!

Postcodes currently covered are SR, DH, TS, DL but please do get in touch for further questions and enquiries!
