Equestrian Coaching
Science-based, supportive coaching for conscious equestrians who want to make progress - with confidence and clear action steps
Do you care deeply about their horses, AND you want to train in a way that’s ethical, evidence-based, and actually feels right?
Are you sick of outdated, dominance-based methods, but still want to progress in your riding and don’t know how to find that happy medium?
THEN YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE
My coaching blends science-backed horsemanship with a focus on connection, biomechanics, learning theory, and mindset. It’s tailored to you and your horse, not a one-size-fits-all method.
It’s about understanding your horse, understanding yourself, and building the kind of partnership you’ve always wanted.
What you’ll learn
Ethical training techniques using equitation science
Your feel, timing, and body awareness in the saddle
Clear building blocks so that you can make progress in between coaching sessions
How to create a training system that is fun for both you and your horse.
How to read and support your horse
“I feel empowered with knowledge. I highly recommend lessons with Susan.”
Eve
“Susan is patient, kind, calm and confident with her approach and helped me learn new ways of working with horses”
Kim
“Susan has been amazing with my horse Pirate. He is sometimes quite tense and finds it hard to relax.
Susan communicates in a clear and uncomplicated manner - in a way the rider understands to then communicate it to the horse in a way he understands too.
As a result pirate is relaxing more and gives me a much easier ride.”
Miriam
Who is it for?
Dressage riders
Ready to really hit the nail on the head in your dressage. In our sessions we work on putting the dots on the I’s and the crosses on the T’s. With a big focus on creating dressage horses who are in self carriage, relaxed, and working correctly through their body.
Show jumpers and Eventers
Make sure your basics are absolutely spot on! I support jump riders to make sure their horse is working correctly on the flat and with lower jump and pole exercises, so that they can jump better when it matters.
Leisure Riders
You don’t need to be competitive to work with me. It doesn’t matter whether you are a Grand Prix rider, or a leisure rider, the principles of how to train your horse don’t change. In actual fact, some of the best trainer I know are not competitive at all, but they sure as hell love to train, and do right by their horse. Whilst you’ll learn heaps during our work together, there is never any pressure to perform. Horse riding is supposed to be fun after all!
