Our trainer, Karen, starts all our youngsters to a very high standard.

Karen Whiston has been riding as long as she remembers. With 32 years successful competition experience, this includes:-

  • Eventing
  • On a shoestring.
  • Up to CCI*** international level.
    including being placed at Blenheim International Three Day Event, riding a horse that she acquired due to a behaviour problem a few years before.

Karen is also successfully competing at Medium level Dressage and hopes that her current horse Bartok II will be ready to compete at Advanced Medium very soon. She takes pride in the fact that she has successfully started, schooled, and competed on many different types of horses; from Arabs and Thoughbreds, to Warmbloods and Shires to the wonderful cobs and native ponies, she enjoys the variety and their different personalities.
Karen has been teaching since 1981, she holds the BHSII and the BHS Stable Managers Certificate, which is the highest Stable Management exam that the BHS award. In 1986 Karen was awarded the runner up position in the Young Instructor of the Year Award.
 

Over the past few years Karen has been very inspired to study new ideas and methods; particularly Monty Roberts Techniques, equine ethology and horse psychology. To complement this she is now an approved 'Ride with your Mind' Coach. Karen has found these new areas very helpful to allow her to grow in the areas of horsemanship that she is passionate about. Allowing the horse to be a horse, understanding why his behaviour is as it is and developing a positive, empathic, calm and trusting relationship between the horse and rider. Karen offers a professional, helpful, enthusiastic, positive, non judgmental service.

She is happy to teach 'riding to enhance you and your horses' partnership and performance, also ground work for any age of horse or pony to build a greater bond and increases confidence or to overcome a particular problem.

Finally,  Karen is happy to teach private or group lessons and is available for clinics and lectures.
