About

Kirsty has self trained her own horses from the beginning stages right up to Grand Prix winning multiple young horse, regional and island/national championships along the way, so has a complete understanding of how the whole process works to progress your horses training.

She has formal equestrian coaching qualifications from both Germany and New Zealand and has also studied sports coaching at university level. She is well known for being excellent at communicating not only how to do something but the reasoning behind it, setting riders up for lifelong success as they can utilise what they are learning not only on their current horse but future horses as well.

The foundation of her work is based on the fact that the process of dressage training is fundamentally built on strengthening the horse correctly so they can carry more weight on the hindquarters and become a lighter easier ride. By training with Kirsty you will gain an understanding of a whole system where exercises are used to gradually prepare your horse for the more difficult work by strengthening up the correct muscles, rather than quick fixes which only end up hindering the training.
