Who am I?
Hey there, I’m Fred.
For over 20 years I've ridden across jumping, work equitation, dressage and endurance — four disciplines that ask very different things of a horse.
Somewhere along the way, the horses that struggled became the ones I most wanted to help. The ones who'd shut down. The ones labelled "dangerous", "difficult" or "hopeless". The ones a family loved but didn't know how to reach.
Horse behaviour and communication is where I found my real passion: reconnecting horses and riders, one honest conversation at a time.
✔ Experience with reactive and anxious horses
✔ Wellbeing first, fear-free
✔ In-person sessions combined with online coaching where appropriate
✔ Free first conversation
How can I help you and your horse
Each horse and each situation is different, but the starting point is always the same: a free conversation to get a first idea of what's going on. From there, we build a plan around your horse — together.
Behaviour & rehabilitation
For horses that won't load, spook, bolt, rear, bite or kick — and for those rebuilding trust after an accident, injury or rough handling. We explore the cause, not just the symptom.
Rider confidence
Fear after a fall is normal and fixable. I help you rebuild your nerve and your relationship with your horse, at a pace that feels safe.
Groundwork & communication
The foundation of everything. Clear, fair communication from the ground that transfers to the saddle.
Settling a new or anxious horse
Just bought, rescued, or rehoming a horse that's struggling to settle? I'll help them — and you — start on the right foot.
