Pupils

Zoe Brenan: “Caroline has been a wonderful inspiration for me, guiding me in all 3 disciplines, helping me to plan my season and working with me at events, course walking and warm up. In 3 years, from my introduction to BE in 2009, we have progressed from BE 90’s and the 5 year old classes to competing at 1* level for team GB at the Junior Europeans, achieving double gold this year (2011). Caroline has been there every step of the way and without her support I am sure this wouldn’t have been possible. I will continue working with Caroline next season, hoping to progress to Advanced and to start my 3 year old along the same path.”
Rachael Ward: “During the time that Caroline has taught me I have progressed from Riding Club level to the National Championships. My 2009 results include: BD Regional Finals – 2nd Novice Restricted, BD Winter Championships – 1st Prelim Combined Training & 10th Novice Restricted, BD Regional Finals – 2nd Elementary Restricted, BD National Championships – 5th Elementary Restricted.”
Constance Copestake: Caroline has taught Constance since she was 10 years old. In 2009  twelve year old Constance started BE and under Caroline’s guidance has progressed from Intro to Novice in one season, enjoying placings in a number of BE100 Open events. Constance will now progress to Pony Trials in 2011 on her ponies Mr Moon and Pebbly Paint Box.
Ros Canter: “Caroline has helped me enormously to have the confidence to get out and win. She understands what makes me tick and has a real understanding of getting the best out of every individual horse; I had 14 BE wins last season. Caroline is also helping me to train for my BHS Stable Managers Certificate”.
Emily Parker: “Caroline has taught me for about 3 years, for show jumping and XC, helped with planning my season and course walking. We were in the YR GB team for the Europeans 2009, winning team gold (16th individually), we won the CIC** at Burnham Market and the OI at Withington Manor, also placing 6th in the CCI** at Houghton Hall and 3rd in the CIC** at Barbury Castle. In 2010 we won Team and Individual gold at the YR Europeans in Pardubice.
Danni Cuomo: Caroline has been teaching Danni for about six years, helping her with all three phases. She has produced her young horse Ballin Willow herself, winning team silver at the Junior European Championships 2006 and team gold in the Young Rider European Championships 2007. Danni is currently at Hartpury College studying for a degree.
Rosie Bowie: Caroline has taught Rosie for over ten years, particularly focussing on her show jumping. She is a top producer of young sports horses, importing horses mainly from Holland. She has produced and ridden horses to three star level.
Issy Lawrence: Issy runs a well established livery and competition yard in Leicestershire where she produces young event horses and teaches, particularly helping nervous and young riders.
Tina Canton: Tina has a great reputation for bringing quality horses up through the grades, also owning advanced event stallion King Accacia, who placed second at Blair CCI* in 2006.
Fiona Applewhite: Fiona is a member of the Mid JRN team in 2006 and has been a pupil for around six years.
Simon Grieve: “My owners and I value Caroline’s input highly and I have alot to thank her for. The best results for me were 9th in the CCI** in Dijon 2009 with Rongotai and a consistently successful year with the young horses. Iron Maiden has gone from strength to strength, gaining intermediate points in a year while Scooter Alley has flown up the grades, completing Osberton 2*”.
Pony Club: I have been chief Horse Trials coach to the Belvoir Pony Club for the last ten years.

With my private clients I like to take the time to plan their season, covering all aspects of the sport, such as fitness, training, walking courses etc.
