When the stars align and you get to ride your new horse for the first time
Settling in time, illness by me and then rider being unwell, weather against us.
Today the sun shone bright, the horse was settled and a good girl and it was only slightly planned (original plan was a few regular ground work sessions) but we just had this feeling
Sharleigh and Missy looked an absolute picture. Slow and steady for a little while, building up muscle and forming that special bond.
I have no doubt this will be a team to watch out for.
Great work today Sharleigh. Keep up the steady progress!!!

Dedicated to the training & improvement of horse & rider
Owner, Head Coach and Trainer Amy Bright, is dedicated to the training & improvement of both horse & rider. Catering to most disciplines from Open Performance, Dressage, Hacking, Jumping. English events, Western, Pony Club, General Riding, in hand, ground work, sporting & equine management and horsemanship.
Established in approx 1996, as a Welsh Pony Section A and B stud, breeding and training quality ponies with a combination of heritage pedigree with new lines. Once the “kids” outgrew the ponies, and moved onto bigger horses, Brooklea Park grew into a Mobile Service, providing lessons off site to horse owners.
Assisting riders develop and improve their connection with their horses. Horsemanship is a huge aspect in the teachings here at Brooklea Park. Quite often people focus too much on the end goal, without putting the work in. Amy believes in building trust and knowledge from true horsemanship. From the simple tasks of how to catch and turn out a horse, float training, to ring etiquette, sportsmanship and riding.
Using a combination of training methods, learning what works and what doesn't work over her many years of teaching, coaching and training horses. Building a tool belt of skills, allowing horse and rider to figure out what works best for them. As they say, there is more than one way to cook a steak. Sometimes one method doesn't necessarily translate for one horse, but for another it proves helpful. Other times its a combination of different methods. Having been competing, riding, training, schooling and coaching for over 20 years, in a range of disciplines from Hunt Seat and Equitation, Hack, Dressage, Hunter under Saddle, Handler, Jumping, Cross Country, Mounted Games, Show Rider, as well as Western Pleasure, Ranch Reining, Horsemanship, Trail, and led classes from Suitability for Dressage to Led Hack and Showmanship. Amy loves teaching the fundamentals and foundation of horse riding. It applies to everything, being able to correctly ask for a canter lead and sitting trot, holding counter canter and working through a course of jumps or going to a show and competing, or quite simply heading out on a trail and knowing how to safely cross paths with other riders, or presenting your horse for a local riding club.

Olympic sized Fully Enclosed Grass Arena
Jumping Arena with a series of jumps that you can typically build at home
