Kate Johnson
|
Kate brings a wealth of experience to the team having represented Great Britian in Dressage at both European and International level. As well as winning several National titles in dressage including National Young rider Championships, and young dressage rider of the year, Kate has also competed in British Riding Clubs horse trails championships. Kate has trained with Olympic dressage riders and worked for three, which gives her a great background in not only riding and training horses but providing livery and looking after clients also. Kate's main role is to find the diamonds in the rough where the new horses and ponies are concerned. Breaking and teaching of the animal takes patience, determination and hard works; qualities that are also very necessary in Kate's capacity as dressage instructor. She is currently training and competeing 2 horses at advanced level and is aiming for Cash's first international show in October. |
Harriet Ferrier
Harriet is the latest addition to our team here at CPE. She has come with a wealth of experience having been around horses since the age of 4 and had her own since then. She also gained invaluable experience working at another riding school and is showing great enthusiasm and determination in working to obtain her qualifications. She has passed her BHS stage 1 and riding road safety in only 4 months and has already booked her stage 2. She gives great support and encouragement to all riders, often going above and beyond her normal duties and has even helped nervous riders enjoy hacking out on our extensive bridleways in her own time! She competes her own pony, Rebel, at numerous local events and is a very brave rider already proving to be an asset to the team when backing and breaking youngsters as little appears to faze her. If you come on our yard and meet someone with a friendly smile its likely to be Harriet.
