"The horse is the best judge of a good rider, not the spectator. If the horse has a high opinion of the rider, he will let himself be guided, if not, he will resist."
This quote by Nuno Oliveira is one of my guiding principles when I am working with new clients!
Over the years I have helped hundreds of riders achieve their goals. Knowledge and expertise are of the utmost importance but the personality and compatibility of you and your trainer also counts for a great deal. As a rider, it is vitally important to find a trainer you feel comfortable with and in whom you and your horse have confidence.
- Teaching with patience, not pressure and instilling trust, not fear
- Providing simple, subtle solutions, empowering the rider to bring on their horse
- Extensive knowledge and experience of classical dressage principles and training inspires confidence in riders
- The only classical dressage trainer in the UK, and one of only a handful worldwide, to have had Nuno Oliveira as a mentor
