Hi I am looking for a good dressage/flatwork trainer (for eventers) in the Berkshire area. Someone with own facilities for me to travel too pref. Any suggestions? I know word of mouth is always a good way to find someone decent Thanks!!

My instructor is brilliant evented internationally for Oz and dressaged up to prix st george. Based near Swindon is that too far?...

If Henley isn't too far for you I would highly reccomend Damien Hallam and his partner Douglas Hibbert

I believe Karen Crago ( wife of Paul ) is a dressage trainer in Berks. Could kill two birds with one stone as an eventer, Karen for flatwork, Paul for jumping. Don't know much about Karen but Paul has a very good reputation.

I was a guinea pig rider at a BSJA day Paul Crago was running and he gave me loads of advice was really good

Will be watching this with interest as I too am looking, although the ones suggested so far are a bit far out for me

Whereabouts are you?? Lucy Gavrilovic is a freelance instructor near Henley, she is VERY good, sympathetic with the horses but very effective! I think she has her BHS I

Good luck

Shame Karen & Paul Crago are too far for you, they're in Pangbourne. Another vote here for both of them, had a great lesson with Paul yesterday.

Paul crago great for SJ but didn't really think much of Karen. Fantastic rider but didn't get anything out of the lessons

Just read your post again - serves me right for playing with the lap top and watching TV!

Sacha does teach at her yard and has wonderful facilities.

She trains with Emile Faurie and is hoping to take her horse Active Dynamo (Dan) up to Grand Prix this year.

She also used to event.

I use Sally Billing; she is based in Hook and is a BE accredited trainer.

My friend who does pure dressage has Dominque Park - www.dominiqueparkdressage.co.uk who trains with Ulla Salzgeber and she is very reasonably priced.
