I have extensive experience in horse training across different stages of development. My work includes familiarising foals and young horses with correct handling, ground manners, and daily routines, always prioritising calmness, trust, and welfare. I have experience starting youngsters under saddle, developing them progressively through flatwork, lunging, and basic schooling. I also work with horses in early jumping education, focusing on balance, confidence, and correct technique. In addition, I provide structured dressage-based training to improve suppleness, rhythm, contact, and overall way of going. I value patient, consistent training methods adapted to each horse’s temperament, with a strong focus on long-term soundness and correct education.

Basic experience handling foals and young horses. Limited stallion experience under supervision. Able to support team routines and work in busy yards with regular turnout. Reliable, safety-focused, and eager to learn.

Ridden a variety of horses. Main experience in dressage-based flatwork and show jumping, with some exposure to natural horsemanship principles and confidence-building work.
