CMEq Training Coach

I am a fully insured, freelance APC BHS qualified coach, horse rider and trainer. In possession of up to date BHS First Aid and Safeguarding for Equestrians.

Crissie Messina
BHS Accredited Professional Coach - Trail leader

My philosophy emphasises relationship-based training, valuing the bond between horse and rider over performance. Based in Edinburgh, I am happy to travel anywhere in Edinburgh, East Lothian, Midlothian, West Lothian and South Fife. My philosophy is centred on relationship-based training that values the bond between horse and rider over performance. I believe in fostering a respectful, 50/50 conversation where both horse and rider listen to each other. Learning should be enjoyable and safe, with a focus on improving skills in a relaxed environment. Horses are individuals deserving of respect and fair communication, not tools. As we prioritise their welfare, I am dedicated to promoting partnership in horsemanship. "We must learn to listen without words; horses speak through their subtle movements and emotions, and to communicate properly, we must first understand them."

A little THANK YOU from me! ✨

I just wanted to take a moment to publicly thank everyone who has been part of this amazing summer season at Scozia Horse Trekking!🙏🥰

Thank you to everyone who came to meet my horses, shared beautiful moments with them, trusted me with their experiences, and took the time to leave a review on Google or through my booking system. As a small business, every review means so much to me and helps others discover what I do. Here are some beautiful photos you shared in your Google reviews!

Thank you for supporting me, my little business, and most importantly, my horses. They are the real stars of Scozia!❤️

The winter season is ON! ❄️

HALLOWEEN PONY MAGIC! 🎃🐴

Who needs a Halloween costume when you’re Lizzie? 😍

Changing Lizzie’s look is pretty much a weekly tradition! 😂 So, instead of dressing her up for Halloween, we’re just having a little fun making our already gorgeous girl even prettier. ✨🎀

Because let’s be honest… Lizzie doesn’t need an excuse to be fabulous!

Tell us, what do you think of her latest look? 🎃🧡

What a fantastic evening yesterday teaching flatwork at Linlithgow and Stirlingshire Pony Club

I really enjoy teaching the foundations of riding, working on aids, balance and control, while developing a clear understanding of the horse. Building the confidence and skills riders need for their future development 😊💪🙌

Thank you so much for the great opportunity ❤️

HORSEY PEOPLE, WINTER IS HERE! 🐴🌙

The clocks have gone back, and suddenly darkness arrives around 5 pm! 🌑 Goodbye long riding evenings, hello muddy fields and winter routines. 😅

For us horsey people, it’s time to adapt, slow down and find a new rhythm for the coming months. But with horses by our side, there’s always a way! 💚

Different season, different routine, same love for our horses!!

How are you adapting to winter? 🍂
