Decent event rider wanted

I'd recommend Craig Nicolai too, he's a good friend of mine and I was meant to groom for him at Burghley but a broken toe dashed this! His yard at Cane End is to die for and he doesn't take on too many horses so all of his competition rides are ridden purely by him and not by grooms. From my viewpoint the best things are that he doesn't take himself too seriously, really values his owners who are made to feel part of the team and he gives horses so much confidence cross country that they really enjoy it. Just watch his Burghley video, nearly everyone else is riding stern faced with a general look of terror and Craig's smiling and laughing all the way round! He really treasures his horses and I think that all of his 'fan club' who were at Burghley would agree that it bought a tear to the eye to see Craig jump off his horse at the end of the cross country and give him a hugs and kisses whilst Clare Balding was trying to get an interview. I wouldn't hesitate to put my horse with Craig even if he were the other end of the country. PM me if you want his contact details

Hi - my daughter is an event rider currently head girl for 4* eventer and rides at intermediate level with much success - she is based in Hertfordshire.. message me if you want any more details ,thanks
 
***THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT - THIS IS JUST MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCES***

I would always use Helen Marsh of Wayacres Sport Horses, Weston Super Mare. I have kept my horse at her yard on and off over the past 10 years.

Helen in focused, hard-working, extremely approachable and down to earth. She practices what she preaches (unlike a few I could mention)! She has great facilities and runs a professional yard.

Helen will listen to the owners, evaluate the horse, then takes time to design a programme for the individual horse. This is to ensure that they are produced to the best of the horses ability and maturity - Helen is excellent at bringing on youngster to competition level. She has a natural empathy with the horses - even with extremely difficult ones! (mostly mine)! lol

Helen's teaches as well, again she is down to earth and is great at getting the best out of the rider and horse and will coach you and will support you through your training. Helen has help me through my huge ups and down. (lots and lots of mine)!!!

I'm surprised Helen hasn't banned me from the yard yet, I am a nut case and always on a roller-coaster when it comes to my horses!!!! lol

I am no way the easiest of owners either (i'm sure Helen will agree) lol. But she has always respected me and my quirks, good and bad!

nahh, I'd love too but not sure you'd be so keen! How about putting an advert in a local horsey mag? Chances are you'll find someone nice looking for a new ride who won't charge. Just a thought...

Hi I dont know if you are still looking for a decent rider, I am a professional event rider, based in gloucestershire I am experienced in bringing on youngsters for eventing and showjumping, my most recent success producing a horse from a breaker two years ago to the six year old championships this season. I can give good refrences from past and present employers, I offer a friendly and professional service riding horses either traveling to their owners base, or in livery from my yard. I am confident that my prices come out very reasonable!
