What is my attitude to teaching?
I consider myself lucky to have a real passion for teaching! I love helping people to share the joy of being with horses. When you come to the riding school and whether you want your riding to be a break from office or home, an escape from life or you want to start training for "airs above the ground!" I will try to help you achieve this without stress, strain or discomfort to both you and the horse. If you are coming to me freelance, it doesn't matter whether you have a hairy cob or an expensive dressage horse - New French classical riding isn't an exclusive, elite way of riding - it's for everyone and every horse; and in whatever sphere of riding you wish to be.

Totally Unique and More Effective Way of Teaching.
The feedback I get from my customers, particularly the men, is that I can teach them to ride faster, better and without the pain. Praise indeed! But how, and why am I teaching so differently?

The secret lies in teaching your body - not the person who has ridden all their life and looks like they are part of the horse. How many people are out there who are that supple and that in tune with the horse? Methods used in British riding schools just don't work for your average person. Look how many people come away from their first 5 lessons still unable to do rising trot without the insides of their thighs burning? How many people go through years of frustration not being able to do sitting trot? How many people are terrified of canter? How many people fall off endlessly? How many people have no idea what the horse feels and thinks? Those of you who are riding now - test yourselves: - from rising trot immediately stand up in your stirrups pretending the horse and saddle have disappeared. Are you perfectly balanced without holding onto the reins or gripping with your thighs? If the answer is no then you need to question how you are riding. (I am not talking about how good is your sense of balance i.e. could you stand on a tightrope. We can all stand on the ground - if you can do that you can be balanced on a horse.)
