Riding instructors

[char.lotte]

Hi all, this is going to be a ridiculous question! The yard I am at has a freelance instructor that everyone loves however they are very hard to book/ they ignore messages which means I am far overdue a clip and a lesson! Not so bothered about the clip for now as willing to wait however I am trying to find a new instructor because I would love semi regular lessons now that the pony is able to wtc in the school (sort of!). Where does everyone find their instructors?! Anyone got recommendations of good instructors in oxfordshire area or ideas where I can find one? Thank you!

You could use the BHS ‘find a coach’ search option Link

Or you could use locally horsey Facebook groups to ask for recommendations? You could always post anonymously if you wanted to.

which area are you in and which discipline are you wanting lessons for.... there are probably lots of recommendations which could come from this forum ?

That's exactly what I'm hoping for! I am reschooling/ riding away/ further producing an awesome little dude in the hope of just having fun! He absolutely loves to jump through the woods so there's a hope of xc one day, but I would also love to get out to some very low level dressage comps. Despite this, at the minute it would be helping me to instill the basics such as responding to my seat, getting him balanced, off the forehand, off the leg and rein further etc. We are Oxfordshire way if there are any recommendations for an instructor to come put to us?

I’m in Oxfordshire - it’s a big county, roughly whereabouts? We have a few that come to my yard, I’ll PM with names.
