Cathy had never sat on a horse until she was 21 years old, and now has over ten years experience of teaching all levels of rider, and caring for all types, ages and standards of horse. Whilst particularly sympathetic with nervous riders and adult beginners, she is equally at home teaching children or assisting competition riders.

Whatever the level of riding, the welfare of the horse is always improved when riders learn to sit in balance with their horse through all its work, whether on the flat or over jumps. For many years Cathy has been accredited with British Dressage as a trainer, and registered with the British Horse Society as a national level instructor.
