What I Offer

I have over 30 years’ of international experience in the horse industry, with highlights including 19 years in competition on Canada’s national show jumping circuit, rated eventing in New Zealand, polocrosse in Zambia, driving, and running a trail horse lodge in Malawi.

My heart is in working with young horses, horses with “behavioural” issues, and horses that need retraining. I approach each horse as an individual, with patience, consistent engagement, and positive reinforcement, balancing ring work with general life experience. I work to ensure that each horse is sound, comfortable, and suited to the job being asked of it.

Training Sessions at Your Yard

I am not simply an exercise rider: I offer training rides working on going forward off the leg, straightness, suppleness, balance, responsiveness.

R400/ride, discounts for multiple rides per week or multiple horses.

Tailored Program at a Private Facility

A 2-week minimum, preferably 1- or 2-month program, at a private facility in Kyalami, which will be tailored to your horse and discussed with you on an ongoing basis. Updates provided (including video) and lessons can be provided by my coach on your horse as the training period comes to an end. Recommended for horses with “behavioural” issues (i.e., human problems so that I can control their environment to best identify the problem and best help your horse. )

Livery (7000/month) plus 2000/week for training (min. 5 sessions) or 4500/month for full training (plus vet, farrier, etc.)
