I have 30 years riding experience. I teach all ages on their own horses at their yards. A school is not a necessity, just a quite flat area if that is all you have access to.
Do you have trouble getting your horse to move forward? Do you have difficulty in sitting trot or canter. Do you want to improve your dressage? Does your horse buck or nap even when physical discomfort has been ruled out? Are you fed up of not improving with your riding despite lessons? Do you want to develope "feel" and improve/start lateral work? If so, I can help!
Heather Moffett (designer of the Fhoenix saddles) developed "Enlightened Equitation" which is classical riding taught in an easy to understand way. It can work wonders for the partnership between you and your horse. Find out how well your horse can really move when you learn to work with him/her. Develope a good classical seat. This is for all types of riders and horses from happy hackers to dressage to jumping.
Heather's book "Enlightened Equitation" is to be revised and re-published hopefully by the end of 2010.

Level 1
Get the basics right, and you have foundations on which to build. So what are the basics? Development of a deep, elegant Classical Seat, correct biomechanical interaction of horse and rider so that both move together as one unit, ability to apply the aids so that they are clear to the horse, not obvious to the onlooker.

Hi Heather
On Saturday 26th September 2009 I had a lesson with Kathy. I thoroughly enjoyed it, she taught me things that were missing in my riding which helped my mare to go more forward and lighten, she also explained why I should make these changes and what these subtle changes would say through me to the horse, and she was spot on.It was so nice to have someone explain and not just say do. I would not hesitate to recommend her to any one who wanted to ride their horse properly and correctly.
Regards
Cherrie
