Biography & Teaching Style

Alice brings more than a decade of hands-on experience in equestrian coaching, demonstrating a steady commitment to nurturing the riding ability, confidence, and enjoyment of her students — both children and adults. Her approach is characterised by patience, clear communication, and creating a supportive learning atmosphere, especially at the beginner and intermediate levels.

In her role as Assistant Coach at Equistra, Alice focuses on foundational riding skills, building riders’ confidence, and reinforcing safe practices. She is also listed as the trainer for Luna, meaning she is closely involved in that horse’s training regimen (saddle work, schooling, fitness, etc.) and likely uses Luna in lessons.

Her profile emphasizes dedication and experience as core values, suggesting she may also be involved in mentoring less experienced coaches or assisting with curriculum development (though this is not explicitly stated).

Competition Participation

• Dressage Series (2019–2023): Regular competitor in local and regional British Dressage-affiliated events with horses Luna and Willow Grace.

• Show Jumping Events: Annual participant in the County Riders Cup and Southern Equestrian League.

• Coaching Clinics: Guest instructor at regional “Confidence in the Saddle” workshops (2022, 2023)

Charity & Community Involvement

Alice is passionate about using horses to make a difference in people’s lives. She volunteers twice a year with the Riders for Hope Foundation, helping children with disabilities experience therapeutic riding.

She also organizes Equistra’s Annual Family Ride Day, a charity fundraiser supporting local animal rescue centers. Her leadership helped raise over £5,000 in 2023 for equine welfare programs in the county.
