Thank you Dawn for sharing your amazing knowledge and the way you pass that on to both the horse and it’s owner. You have helped me to connect to my two horses in a way that felt safe and enabled to build trust and confidence. And not to forget the fun on the way! I think there was not one question from me or my horses that you did not have an answer for... riding, body work, nutrition, or caring and first aid. Highly recommend your training and attention to detail.
I’ve been riding with Dawn for several months now and have learned more than I did at any equestrian centre. Her horses are absolutely wonderful and her facilities are superb. Dawn’s extensive knowledge and experience in dressage, will make you a better rider in no time! Would highly recommend to anyone wanting a better and deeper connection with horses.
Dawn has been my neighbour for 10+ years and from my verandah I have watched her help and instruct so many people of all age groups. She helped me educate my young horse and I have had many riding lessons with Dawn. When my beautiful horse-love of 26 years colicked badly a few months ago, she was an absolute gem, steadfast support for hours on end with such a depth of experience and knowing exactly what to do and give him. We did endless belly lifts together for hours.What stands out for me with a Dawn is that the welfare of any horse is always the most important thing for her, whether that be in the riding arena or in a float or on the paddock. I have watched so many horses just wanting to be close to her, because they can feel her understanding and embodied love.She is of course also a very accomplished rider and instructor with a lifetime of experience.
Indi and Champion have been going to see Dawn for 3.5 years. Champion has been on Hemp and Kelp for the last 2 months and we have seen a vast improvement in his stiffness and energy.
She's simply the best
About me
At 16 I chose to leave home and attend an Equestrian College to become a riding Instructor. It was to be the start of a long and happy career as a professional high level competition groom and yard manager, culminating in me attaining the British Horse Society Intermediate Instructors Certificate and NVQ IV certificate. This enabled me to further my passion for teaching and focus on formulating training programmes for future Instructors and professionals in the Horse industry. Working within a wide range of disciplines, horses have remained my greatest teachers, and the desire to improve their health and their happiness encourages me to keep learning. Every horse is unique in it's challenges, but it is also true that every horse has incredible potential and often the answer to complex issues are in fact very simple. It takes time however and it takes commitment. If you have those two attributes then I can help you get the best out of your horse, not just in his ground manners and his ridden work, but in his physical and mental well-being. You are your horses trainer AND carer, so everything you do has consequence. Let me help you be the best for your horse, because a truly willing happy partnership can only be made with a truly happy healthy horse.
Dawn is proud to call herself an ambassador for Spectrum Animal Health, an Australian owned company looking to take the next step in Equestrian health and recovery.
