I’ve been training with Jacqui for six years, working with a range of different horses. She has a fantastic ability to understand each horse as an individual and support me in reaching the goals I’ve set. Her mindset coaching has also been invaluable, helping me better understand myself and improve my approach to goal setting, training and competing

"She has been the most amazing coach to me for just under 10 years, she is so patient and always encourages me to do my best, not only is she an amazing coach but also an amazing mentor. Jacqui deserves coach of the year"
"Jacqui has made a huge positive impact on mine and my horses training. Taking us to compete at county level and making plans to compete at higher levels in the near future."
"Jacqui has been coaching me for 12 years now and I wouldn’t use anyone else. She is supportive, incredibly knowledgeable, inspiring and has helped me turn a very challenging mare into a lively horse to be proud of. She has also supported me with my ex-racehorse and helped me achieve 3rd place at national showing comp. Her relaxed and clear coaching style is invaluable. A great instructor!"
Jacqui as she has been my coach, mentor and friend for over 10 years now, she has trained me from novice level to advanced level with my horse who has been challenging to work with at times. Jacqui is knowledgeable, empathetic to horse and rider, and most importantly makes the whole process fun and positive.

"Jacqui has been amazing with supporting me when I had a wobble with my young horse, she guided me in the right direction, and we qualified for county teams. Since then, we qualified for three area festivals at P/N level. Jacqui always checks in at a competition especially after and is always positive and focused. Jacqui has also helped me work my other horse towards medium which I used to think was out of my reach but not anymore.
She truly is an amazing trainer who really makes you think about what you’re doing and how would you like to get there helping you improve your mind set or goals."
"I can honestly say that Jacqui is the best coach I’ve ever had. She is incredibly knowledgeable and explains things in such a clear way. Her lessons are always so fun and I come away feeling like I’ve learnt so much. I haven’t been having lessons with her for very long but I’m so excited to see how far I can progress."
"Jacqui has coached me for several years, but the biggest challenge I have faced has been getting over totally losing my nerve after being an over horsed and then to try to bond with my new mare.
Jacqui has helped every step of the way, from unmounted prep to step-by-step support to get back on terms with riding. She’s non-judgmental but still pushes me to achieve and is great at helping me take a positive from every ridden experience. I’m convinced that I have the tools now to get where I want to be - to take joy from my relationship with a horse once again."
Jacqui has made a remarkable difference to me, my confidence and my riding. Following a significant riding accident, Jacqui has deconstructed me as a rider, all of this with patience, understanding and the ability to explain seemingly small changes with clarity. Everything has had a positive impact, mentally and physically and it is joyous!

"Jacqui gave my daughter the confidence to progress her riding further on a new horse."
"I have been working with Jacqui for nearly 10 years on various horses. My Welsh, chestnut mare, Amber has not been the easiest to work with but Jacqui’s patience, consistency and belief has pushed us. Every session we learn and adapt and come away wanting more. Recently we have been working on competition nerves and after a change in mindset we went and did our best three tests. This would not have happened without Jacqui".
Becky Sweetlove
"Jacqui has such a brilliant way of understanding you and your horse and finds little things that make a massive difference"
"Jacqui has had a big impact on my riding & horses’ way of going. She has taught me how to ‘feel’ & respond/react to my horse’s way of going. She has taught my horse (& me!) to use his back end & be so much lighter in the hand so not on the forehand - so much nicer to ride! In fact, with Jacqui’s coaching, he can feel amazing! She has such patience & understanding."
"Jacqui has massively improved both my confidence and technical ability in the last year. She understands me and my horse and is pushing us in the right way, in a compassionate and kind way!"
"Jacqui has such a gift to spot the areas for improvement and very clear guidance how to improve at every level. Also, very approachable and supportive which makes you feel confident you are on the great journey to be your best rider!"
