Duties of Current Occupation

Coaching/training: individualized lesson plans + structured programs; flatwork and jumping development; rider goal-setting and accountability; show prep and ring coaching; video review; horse/rider matching for juniors and adult amateurs.

Equine Work Experience

Coaching and training experience across Canada and Europe within hunter/jumper programs. I ride and school horses to support the program (flatwork fundamentals, adjustability, and gymnastic/jump schools) and translate that work into rider-friendly exercises. Competition background at Spruce Meadows and Rocky Mountain informs my show coaching: warm-up strategy, course planning, ring craft, and performance routines. I work well in structured, high-standard barns - timely lessons, clear expectations, and individualized plans for each rider. I have coached riders from first ride to competing 1.10m, including juniors and adult amateurs, and I enjoy building confident, educated riders with correct basics and long-term progression.

Specialities

Boutique, detail-driven coaching with clear systems and measurable progress. I create structured, personalized programs for each rider (homework, benchmarks, and show plans), emphasizing correct basics, effective flatwork, and confident, accurate rounds. Experienced teaching complete beginners through 1.10m - juniors and adult amateurs - plus developing green/young horses and producing rider confidence. Professional background in Canada and Europe; calm, direct communication and high standards.

Type of Ride Work

Hunter/jumper & show-jumping focus with strong flatwork systems (rhythm, balance, connection, adjustability). Coach riders over fences through gymnastic work, course rides, and show preparation up to 1.10m. Emphasis on correct basics, confidence, and accurate riding - ideal for ambitious juniors and adult amateurs.

Competition Details

Competition experience includes Spruce Meadows and Rocky Mountain show jumping. As a coach, I support riders with show plans, course walks and strategy, warm-up organization, ring craft, and post-round video review. Comfortable coaching juniors and adult amateurs in a structured program environment, from first shows through 1.10m goals.
