Hi All,
Due to my usual trainer moving out of area I am now looking for somebody new in Oxfordshire or Berks border.
I have been given the name of Francesca Walker and wondered if anyone had had lessons with her and knew what her teaching was like?
Also, can anyone make any recommendations? Pref to come to teach at my own yard.
Thank you
 
Haven't heard of her I'm afraid. I have lessons with Dawn Britnell who is fabulous and used to have lessons with Sarah Hawkins who is also very good. PM me if you can't find their numbers!
 
I lived in Oxfordshire for many years and i've never heard of Francesca Walker, sorry. But i do know both Dawn Britnell and Sarah Hawkins, and they are both excellent, and i'd recommend them both hugely.
 
Thanks both for your replies.
I used to have lessons with Sarah years ago but she didn't come out to teach and was a bit of a trek to her yard.
Where is Dawn based?
 
Dawn I believe is High Wycombe based, or thereabouts. Sarah definitely travels to teach. Other local options include Simon Battram, Susie Pilbeam, and Liza Faircloth, depending where you are and what level you are working. I've never heard of Francesca Walker either fwiw.
 
Francesca is a great trainer, very encouraging and knows how to get the very best possible out of horse and rider at all levels. I would thoroughly recommend her to anyone with complete confidence.
Hope that helps.
