Dressage instructors in Cheshire (Congleton)

[countercanterr]

Any recommendations for dressage trainers/instructors that will travel out to Congleton? Currently at novice level unaffiliated, schooling some elementary but would like to start BD this year.
We're no experts, I've done everything alone so far & have a pretty normal little horse I'd just like help getting further as I'm not very experienced with more advanced stuff!

Would love someone that takes a more classical approach & more into positive reinforcement/ ignoring bad stuff & repeating rather than trying to force anything as she is a sensitive soul!

I have Joanne Graham, shes a list 1 judge and BD judges director. I, like you have a quite a normal horse but he is very, very intelligent and Jo always pushes us to do the more advanced work as it helps him focus and gives him something to think about. He can also be quite difficult, and after moving away for a while and having lessons off other instructors that gave me the distinct impression that i should get a better horse to progress. So as soon as i moved back it was straight back to Jo and what a difference. He won last time out only his 3rd attempt at Elementary. She comes to us but will only come out for 3 or more, but does do a number of clinics all over the place, Crow Wood, Shaw Farm, Aintree and with us once a week in Knowsley, liverpool.
