Biography & Teaching Style

Liam Carter brings more than a decade of hands-on experience in equestrian coaching, demonstrating a steady commitment to developing the riding ability, confidence, and enjoyment of his students — from children to adults. His approach is characterised by patience, clear communication, and a supportive learning atmosphere, especially for riders at the beginner and intermediate levels as they steadily gain confidence.

In his role as Assistant Coach at Equistra, Liam focuses on foundational riding skills, building rider confidence, and reinforcing safe practices. He is also listed as the trainer for Luna, meaning he is closely involved in her training programme (saddle work, schooling, fitness, etc.) and often incorporates her into lessons.

His profile highlights dedication and experience as core strengths, suggesting he may also play a role in mentoring newer coaches or supporting curriculum development, even if not explicitly stated.

Charity & Community Involvement

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