Hazel can ride, school and campaign horses on behalf of their owners — from a short block of work through to selected competition starts.

Hazel can help when you are working through a problem, rebuilding confidence or feel your horse has plateaued. She can also prepare and campaign horses for the next level of competition. The focus is on clear, consistent training that helps horse and rider move forward together.

Training can include

  • Education and further schooling
  • Short-term focused training blocks
  • Dressage schooling and rideability
  • Eventing and competition preparation
  • Competition rides and campaigning
  • Owner updates and a practical plan to continue at home

Built around the individual horse

There is no fixed formula. The amount of work, length of stay and competition plan can be shaped around the horse, the owner’s goals and what will genuinely help the combination progress.
