Freelance riding coach at Ontario farms. Video coaching too!​

Enjoy the process as much as the result!  By understanding equitation science (how horses think and learn), my students gain a tool kit to solve their own horse puzzles and problems.

Need a fresh perspective? Occasional or weekly riding lessons. Coaches, supplement your program with occasional lessons for yourself or your students.

Lost your riding confidence? Let’s rebuild it step by step. Mature rider?  We’ll move at your own pace.   I coach and judge western, hunter, dressage or trail obstacle riders.


Lessons for competitive or novice riders.

Just a note of thanks for a great lesson. Your clear, fair, consistent approach to riding and teaching makes lessons with you priceless. Thanks for being patient with me!

In a typical riding session I will:

  • watch you and your horse working as a team through my favourite exercises and patterns
  • target some trouble spots
  • suggest specific, do-able changes based on equitation science
  • provide you with lots of homework ideas!

Riding Clinics

Are you and your horse communicating? Practical training tips from the field of Equitation Science and tips for the show ring from a judge’s perspective.

Private farms. Riding clubs. Therapeutic riding facilities.   Let’s plan a custom riding clinic for your group!

The day includes and unmounted horse talk followed by small group riding sessions, where we put the theory into practice.

Thank you so much for all your assistance over the weekend. Being an older rider, sometimes it takes a different perspective to make a point resonate with greater clarity. You are an excellent communicator, something that you have obviously honed over the years.

Clinic Topic Ideas:

  • Thinking Like a Horse: The science of why horses do what they do. In the horse world, evidence and traditions sometimes collide. With insights from the field of equitation science we find clues to solve everyday horse behaviour issues, teach your horse any skill and ride more effectively.
  • Navigating trail obstacles – for competition and just for fun! English or western riders – gain fine-control of your horse by maneuvering through obstacles. Or prepare for competition – from trail show classes to Working Equitation to Extreme Obstacle competition. Step-by step – how to teach it and score it.
  • Make the Most of your Show Day Score cards, penalties, class procedures and showing tips. What are judges looking for?

Long distance? No problem.

We’ll review your riding session or horse show class video, assessing together via phone or Zoom consultation.

Affordable and convenient!
