Can anyone recommend an instructor/classical dressage trainer to help me work through a few issues with my cob?

someone who has had good results and works with cobs alot would be fab.
Thanks

Can you give us a more specific idea of your location? Are you looking for them to come to you or you to go to them?

Have a look on the BD trainer database.

I just had a look in your two areas, and only know one of them though, Donn Collins. He taught me at college, he teaches at Moreton Morrell, so used to a huge variety of horses and abilities, including plenty of cobs. He is fab, and works to you and the horse rather than one set way. He's a little eccentric at times, but vastly knowledgeable.

Roger Gregory! Fab instructor, very sympathetic. Works your butt off but gets results.

Omar Rabia? If you can't get him in person, his book (Cobs Can) is great

I contacted Omar via FB but unfortunitly he is west cumbria - over 4 hours away
He has recommended i look at the enlightened equitation site to find someone close by.

Emma Bailey is fab (also EE trained but lots of other stuff also), I know she does some in Shrops & if she doesn't go far enough your way, I know she teaches at a variety of yards when she's down here so you could poss. arrange to meet at a yard? She's really helped me with my boys over the last year or so, & is absolutely lovely! Also does in-hand work etc which I've found so, so helpful - especially when the weather is bad or can't ride for whatever reason!
