Recommended trainers/instructors Bedfordshire please (pref. dressage)

[SassieSoz]

Got a bright but very green 8 yr old IDx with very independant thoughts but a willingness to learn. Does have a tendency to try out anyone new (definitely a boundary tester). Need to find a decent and patient instructor/trainer - not sure how he'd be with men as pretty much only ever been dealt with by females and I backed him

- think anyone with overbearing and bossy tendencies could possibly end up on the deck (at 17.2 it's a tad painful

). Appreciate your thoughts and recommendations!

Natalie Banks is brilliant imo. PM me for details if you are interested.

Depending how close you are to the Cambs border - Matt Cox at Firs farm is FAB

I regretably sent my horse off to be broken and schooled by Natalie Banks and I personally will NOT recomend her to train anyone elses horses due to my bad experience. I cant comment on her as a riding instructor though, as I have not used her for that service. Have a look on Biggleswade saddlery website they have trainers advertised. Nick Turner is very good and worth every penny.

SassieSoz, whereabouts in Bedfordshire are you?
I am a BHS II (registered and insured) near jnc 9 of the M1. Can't really give a 'personal reccomendaion' to myself

but my forte is flatwork and I am used to 'big lads'. Not sure if you are able to PM me or if you are waaaay over t'other side of Beds

.

I can strongly recommend Simon Battram who is based in Bedfordshire -

He's very kind and patient and has a great sense of humour!

Belinda Skipper Clophill.Don't know if she gives lessons but seeing her out hacking on her dressage horses, they are enjoying themselves and a pleasure to watch even her big Grand Prix horse.
