Thoroughly enjoy my lessons with Heather, knowledgeable, encouraging, picks up on things we need to work on with my horse during the lesson, we always finish with improvements through different exercises and I go away with exercises to work on too.

Such a lovely, patient and supportive instructor who always makes every lesson enjoyable. Heather has helped me grow so much in confidence and improve my riding skills, always encouraging me to push myself while making sure I feel comfortable and safe. Her knowledge, dedication and genuine care for both the horse and rider really shines through. I always come away feeling happy and like I’ve achieved something. Couldn’t ask for a better instructor 🤎🐴xx

Heather is such a lovely instructor, she uses her knowledge and honestly teaches you not just how to ride but to also understand what your doing, you can really tell she cares, I look forward to our lessons all the time! ❤️

I have known Heather for ten years and highly recommend her. She is always professional whilst being kind and patient. Heather is working with me bringing my pony back into work under saddle. We are currently based near Maidstone.

I cannot recommend Heather highly enough. She was honestly my last-ditch effort when it came to any kind of flatwork with my ex-racehorse, and I’m so grateful I found her. What felt frustrating and impossible before suddenly became achievable with her guidance, patience, and incredible knowledge. Heather has such a calm, encouraging approach and an amazing eye for detail. She explains everything clearly and always adapts her teaching to suit both horse and rider. Since working with her, I’ve seen such a transformation in my horse’s way of going and in my own confidence as a rider. What really sets Heather apart is how much she genuinely cares about the wellbeing and progress of both horse and rider. Every lesson feels supportive, positive, and productive, and I always come away feeling motivated and excited to keep improving. If you’re struggling, lacking confidence, or just looking to improve your partnership with your horse, I truly couldn’t recommend Heather more.

Very polite and always come out of a lesson with more knowledge. Such a lovely time way to leave with confidence. Not only do you learn more you will also be more aware of your bad habits and are easily fixed with heather

Heather has been my coach for many years, helping me feel more in control and empowered in the saddle. She’s been endlessly devoted to our training at every stage — from when I wasn’t particularly interested in “dressage” (showjumper at heart!) and struggled with confidence and the technical side of the training scales, to now, where we’re hitting almost 70% and beginning to craft our elementary dressage freestyle.I love Heather’s way of teaching. You never get stuck drilling straight lines or endless 20m circles — she pushes both you and the horse to be ambitious, getting to the root of issues through biomechanical understanding, improving suppleness through lateral work, and always switching things up. Even my equine physio commented on how much fitter and stronger my older horse was feeling, telling me to “keep doing whatever you’re doing,” which says it all!Heather always goes above and beyond — reviewing training videos between sessions, supporting at competitions, and genuinely caring about progress. After years of working together, we know each other so well. She’s a fantastic coach who always works with you and your horse, adapting to your goals, expectations and needs on the day (even when I'm stressy! 🤣).I'd highly recommend heather especially if you feel a bit stuck with your riding, no matter the discipline, as the flat work has improved my course jumping also.Katie Pinn

Heather has helped me massively over several years. I've gone from a very nervous and anxious rider, too scared to canter, to competing at preliminary competitions and regularly getting in the 60 percents! Moving up to novice next year. As an older person suffering from arthritis it's not always easy but Heather is always encouraging and enthusiastic, I wouldn't want another trainer now and can't recommend her highly enough! Thank you Heather for sharing your knowledge and for your support ❤️

2025-09-26T08:16:49.164Z

I've had the pleasure of being coached by Heather for many years, and her support has been invaluable in helping me overcome various challenges and achieve the best from both myself and my horse. Her energy and enthusiasm are infectious — she offers constant encouragement and creates a positive atmosphere for everyone involved.Heather brings a wealth of ideas to each session, ensuring that no two are ever the same. While her primary focus is on dressage, we've also had fantastic pole and jumping sessions. What truly sets Heather apart is the time and care she takes to understand both horse and rider as individuals.She has also ridden my horse on occasions, whether during sessions or when I’ve been away, and I’m always impressed by her soft, effective riding style. She consistently brings out the best in my horse.I would highly recommend Heather to anyone looking for a dedicated, knowledgeable, and inspiring coach.

2025-09-13T12:33:28.871Z

Heather has coached me on a variety of different horses over the years and she always gets the best out of every horse, spending the time to get to know you as a rider and the horse and tailoring the coaching session to improve you both. She is always encouraging and has lots of exercises and ideas to help with any issue

2025-09-08T15:06:18.907Z

I have been training with Heather for 2 years and she has transformed me and my tricky TB mare! Despite owning my horse for many years, she has always been quite sharp and very tense. Heather has brought out the best in us and she really understands the quirks and sensitivity that comes with a TB. My confidence in my ability has grown thanks to Heather and I really look forward to my training sessions. They are always varied, educational, fun and hard work yet still follow the scales of training to ensure correctness.Heather also helps me with the young RDA ponies at my workplace. She understands the requirements of the job that the ponies need to do and helps me train them to make them fantastic ponies that look after and teach disabled riders. Again, the ponies haven't been the easiest but they have grown in confidence and ability thanks to Heather.

Heather has helped me so much with my horses.She will even jump on, and show you if you want her toShe will help you with confidence issues , make your lessons fun and enjoyableThroughly recommended

Heather has been coaching me for nearly two years now, and her commitment to our journey has been unwavering. She’s just as invested in our progress as I am and truly wants the best for the horse. When I started coaching with her, I was riding Eddie—an older horse. As time went on, I made the decision to semi-retire Eddie and take on the challenge of bringing on a youngster. That’s when Olive came into the picture. As the first young horse I’ve owned, the journey hasn’t been easy—but Heather has been there every step of the way. She’s worked absolute miracles with Olive. Her guidance has extended far beyond our coaching sessions; she’s always at the end of the phone, ready to offer advice or support whenever I’ve needed it. I genuinely couldn’t have done it without her. Looking forward to many more coaching sessions. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to gain confidence, or achieve your competition goals- which hopefully we will soon do!🤞🏻

Heather is brilliant as an instructor. She is always so enthusiastic and gives 110% to every lesson. She really helps to get the most out of both horse and rider and helps work through any problems.

2025-08-05T14:58:17.838Z

Awesome highly recommend

2025-08-05T14:25:36.130Z

Heather is such an amazing instructor. Even when my horse would have a bad day and throw me some moves, she always found a way to help me stay positive and calm. She’s very knowledgeable and such a kind and caring person. She really helped me with my confidence, and really helped my horse too. She really understood him, and with her help he's never looked so good. Would highly recommend her.

2024-10-22T18:42:00.000Z

I have known Heather for 15 years. She has looked after my group of rescue horses whilst I was working abroad and is 100% reliable and trustworthy. Nothing is ever too much trouble and she is patient and understanding. She is still exercising my boy to this day and he absolutely loves her. I cannot recommend Heather highly enough.

2024-10-11T03:54:52.000Z

I have know Heather for over 5 years She has helped me enormously over the last year , with my new horse Donte. He's not been the easiest of horses and if it hadn't been for Heathers help I probably would have sold him !! Heather helped me to bond with him by schooling him and showing me what a great horse he really was I think it's great if your coach is willing to ride your horse , because they can see exactly what your feeling Thank you Heather

2024-10-10T17:04:34.000Z

I highly recommend Heather. she has helped me and my horses so much. she is a friendly and knowledgeable. I have complex health needs and she always has ideas and ways to help us understand and the improvements always show.

2024-10-08T18:45:17.000Z

I have been training with Heather for over a year now and the difference in my horse is amazing. Heather is fantastic at understanding the difficulties both horse and rider are facing and I'm so happy to have finally found someone that has taken the time to understand my very sensitive mare and manages to direct us the correct way. Our lessons are always different, but always working towards a goal which is achievable with time at the end of each session to discuss - it is so nice to have a coach rather than an instructor. Heather is very good at using different techniques when something isn't working or I am not understanding. My horse and I have lots of fun and are always challenged in a positive way which builds my confidence. Thank you Heather!

2021-03-16T19:29:06.859Z

Heather has been looking after my horses now for over 6 years and I cannot fault the level of care and attention she provides them. I think when she fist starting coming I had 5, now we are up to 9 and she offers each and every one of them exemplary care and treats them like she would her own. Heather obviously loves her job and this shows in the level of her work. She always works to a high standard and often she has done everything I would ask of her, before I have even asked! I wouldn't have anyone else look after my horses! The horses obviously love her and I can tell that she loves them!

2021-03-15T21:08:48.214Z

Absolutely love Heather and my lessons with her! She is a trainer who actually takes the time to work with you and get to know you and your horse! She always listens to your feedback and makes sure that you are happy and understanding why we are doing the exercises we do.She is always there out of lessons to for advice and just a general horsey chat. I’ve never had a trainer as dedicated as her. I honestly couldn’t recommend Heather enough! The improvement in my mare is insane and I’m so excited to get started with my other mare too.A massive massive thank you to her for all she has done.

2021-03-15T13:40:43.081Z

Super knowledgeable instructor - our young pony made great progress with Heather's coaching sessions and polework clinics.Thoroughly recommend.

2018-11-22T16:49:37.444Z

Only had a few lessons with Heather and all is going well, very understanding and friendly, excellent teaching skills will definitely be having more .
