Eventing coaching · Hunter Valley

Eventing lessons in the Hunter Valley.

I offer one-to-one coaching for riders on their own horses across dressage, show jumping, cross country, horsemanship fundamentals and general riding. I can travel locally to your facility by arrangement.

One size does not fit all. My aim is to create a flexible and practical training program built around your horse and your ability to get the best result possible.

If you are searching for an eventing school, eventing classes or private eventing coaching in the Hunter Valley, my approach is deliberately personal. Lessons are one-to-one and are shaped around the horse and rider in front of me rather than a fixed program.

What we can work on

  • Dressage and flatwork
  • Show jumping technique and course preparation
  • Cross country schooling and confidence
  • Horsemanship fundamentals and general riding
  • Competition preparation and problem solving
  • Confidence and partnership building

Who lessons are for

Riders of all levels are welcome. You do not need the “right” horse, the “right” gear, or to wait until you feel “ready” to book a lesson. Horse riding is a lifelong journey, and small, incremental changes along the way can make all the difference.

I aim to keep lessons relaxed and practical, with clear feedback and a strong focus on the horse.
