showjumping instructor in kent?

[meganc]

Hi, I'm kind of new to the area, and the country

(long story) and have a newish horse on loan, i'm trying to make him into a proper horse and he loves his jumping! But we need to getout and about and have quite a bit of tuition together. I was wondering if anyone had any names that thy could give me for a good istructor, that would be able to take me under their wing for weekly lessons and possibly competions (bsja around 1m-1m10 and hopefully more asap). Ideas people? thanks

Julie Draper is brilliant! or Mally Spens, she was superb when I used to have lessons 8 or so years back but not sure if she has retired or not!

More to the South of Kent you have - Mark Bellinger, Chris Moyce and Joel Charlesworth. Have had personal experience of all 3, and they are great. Mally Spens is Master of the East Kent Hunt so I guess still riding and I know she trains the EKH PC in jumping.
