Rachael Amy Equestrian

Rachael has trained a wide variety of horses in England, Germany, Canada & Spain. Holds BHS Stage 4 Riding (Distinction), PTT & BTEC ND.

Rachael always starts at the beginning with a horse to ensure that the correct foundation has been laid & makes tiny adjustments to aid communication to avoid confrontation, always giving the an alternative route first. She works through the levels with sensitivity until she feels she understands the horse. Rachael is a quiet, instinctive rider & will use as little or as much is needed - bearing in mind the horses' current experience amd physical & mental fitness. She is a brave and secure rider and will winkle out any inconsistencies or problems the horse is having with skilled, gentle but precise handling and has a "bring it on attitude" if the horse decides to test her abilities - quietly and patiently waiting it out before confidently asking again. Her greatest skill, however, is the ability to pass on her knowledge to her clients so that they can achieve the same results as herself. Rachael is non-judgemental & will work out a programme that is correct for the horse she is helping but in line with a client's desire & ability. However, she has the directness to point out if there are any discrepancies of ability, timeline, etc. to the goals envisaged. Rachael can also work totally independently if you would like your horse training for a discipline but haven't the time, desire or expertise to bring the horse to it's full potential. Rachael is qualified & insured, offering training for horse & riders freelance or livery basis.
