I am a highly energetic, motivated and enthusiastic instructor and this is reflected in my teaching.

As a BHS Registered instructor, I have worked hard to achieve the following equestrian qualifications:

• British Horse Society Preliminary Teaching Certificate (BHSPTC)
• Association of British Riding Schools Initial Teaching Award (ABRS ITA)
• British Horse Society Stages 1, 2 and 3 in Horse Care and Equitation
• NVQ 2 in Horse Care and Equitation
• BTEC National Diploma in Equine and Business Studies
• British Horse Society Equine Specific First Aid Certificate
• British Equestrian Federation Safeguarding and Protecting Children Certificate

I have been riding for over 25 years and have experience in a variety of equestrian disciplines.  Having worked previously at many riding schools, I am particularly accustomed to coaching young people and their ponies.  Grass roots riders are a speciality, helping and encouraging them to build a partnership with their horses.

Working as Head Groom at a Dressage yard enabled me to work to a much higher level of riding - competing a downgraded Advanced Medium horse, training youngsters and schooling competition horses.

If it is a fitness and exercise scheme you need, then my experience of working for the Masters of the Holderness Hunt in East Yorkshire has enabled me to produce hunt horses to the right fitness level for a full season.

JCS Equestrian hopes to provide good quality, affordable training which enables riders to progress and enjoy a successful partnership with their happy horses.
