Hi

Would really like to find somewhere that does dressage or classical training on their own schoolmasters (found lots of trainers but am after somewhere where you ride their horses).

So far I have found www.holisticequitation.co.uk/
and www.eldiva.co.uk/welcome/4535115341
if anyone has any opinions on either? (pm if prefer)

Or if anyone can suggest anywhere not a million miles from the MK area? (bucks, northants, possibley beds, oxon), the closer the better as can spend more on lessons and less on fuel!

Thanks and frothy coffee with cupcakes to all! :)
 
I can't recommend Caroline Phillips (El Diva) enough - genius horsewoman who is brilliant at connecting with clients in lessons & creating noticeable improvements from the get go. She has a real knack for 'riding from the ground' when she teaches, and she can coach you to the point of achieving 'that' feeling the rider should be seeking when the horse is working correctly so it's clear what you're trying to recreate in practicing thereafter. Beautiful, generous horses too, who's education & wellbeing is as important to her throughout the lesson as the clients.
 
Herts05 - Thanks but that is probably too far for regular lessons, although I do know someone else who recommends them so will bear it in mind.

Katt - Thats great info thanks very much, also do you know whereabouts in Northants she is based (website just says Northants)? PM if you prefer. Thanks again :)

She is not far from me at all, so hopefully have lesson booked for Saturday, very excited! Thanks!:):)
