“I’ve been having lessons with Molly on a regular basis since buying my inexperienced horse at the start of 2021. Molly has instilled confidence in both of us as we’ve developed our dressage. We’ve achieved all our goals and more. Molly is professional, fun and knowledgeable!”

My children just adore Molly, always a highlight of their week when their lesson day arrives. So wonderful to see their confidence grow under Molly’s care, from not wanting to even trot to cantering around her arena. She is not only such an asset to my kids future in Dressage, but also mine as I regain my confidence after a lot of years out of the saddle.

“Molly has taught my children to ride and develop their dressage. My daughter has competed in local and national dressage shows, gaining so much experience and making amazing memories. Dressage training has been a key part of developing their riding skills and love for the sport. My kids say Molly is always happy and fun and look forward to her lessons. She is always happy to share her knowledge about horse care and grooming as well. We’ve all learnt so much from her!”

My daughter and pony have made significant progress since having flatwork lessons with Molly. She is a genuine, skilled instructor who has a lovely way with her. Always calm and encouraging, she brings the best out of you and your horse. We look forward to the lessons in her beautiful, tranquil arena every time. Recommended 100%.
