This is my beautiful friend Nicky, sharing her amazing journey with her lovely mare Jessie. I was there at the beginning of their time together and they have come so far. Beautiful horsemanship and such wonderful insights. Nicky is a brave, strong and insightful woman and a wonderful coach!!!

So we have decided to do it again… another over 50km (58km this time) trek for charity with one of my best friends Louise. This time we are raising money for the MS Society…

Please consider donating to raise money to support people with and researchers into MS. It really spurs us on to complete the walk. This one is a little bit more personal as Lou was diagnosed with MS when we were 18. It is the most amazing honour to do this walk with her. We are just praying for nice weather 😂 ☀️

You can read about our why for this walk and donate by clicking the link below…

I am really excited to announce a NEW intake for Pilates for Riders based in Newbold Verdon Equestrian Centre, Leicestershire. Thursday Evenings 7pm starting on the 14th Nov and running for 6 weeks. This is the first time that I have been taking bookings for a brand new Pilates for Riders - Fundamentals class in this area.

Learn how your asymmetries are affecting your horses way of going. Maybe your horse leans on one rein, or struggles to turn right? Maybe you or your horse struggle with a jump off with more right turns than left, or you always have run outs to one side in the cross country phase? Maybe you are struggling with lateral work to one side, or your flying changes are difficult one way?

Research has shown that if we train our movement patterns off the horse, then our position and aids are improved when we are in the saddle.

These hour long Pilates for Riders classes will teach you specific exercises to help correct your asymmetries. This will assist your horse to become better balanced and better able to perform for you!!!

£56 for a block of 6 classes through the month of November leading up to Christmas.

Very small classes for close supervision, with a very experienced Physiotherapist and Equipilates™ Biomechanics Trainer.

Please comment below or PM me for more details.

Also available for 1:1 2:1 or small group sessions for Rider Alignment sessions, pilates or Physiotherapy at your request. PM for more information.

Not posted for a while. I hope you are all enjoying
the sunshine. This is me out for a pootle with my mare this morning.

I am still going with the one class just for established clients. I am looking to start more classes again later in the year.

That class is moving to a Monday at 8 in Sharnford. If any of my previous clients would like to join us, there are a couple of places available.

Please note this is not a beginners class. Later in the summer I may be starting a beginners class, also on a Monday evening in Sharnford.

DM me for more details.
