About Lucy
– Lucy is a freelance instructor and horse trainer who offers lessons in groundwork, liberty and ridden work in the South East.
She has always been passionate about finding a better way to be with horses, and having tried a few popular styles of horsemanship over the years and realising that they didn’t quite ‘fit’ her ethos, she decided to stop looking for humans to teach her, and turned instead to her horse, Tao.
Lucy has developed her own style of horsemanship that focuses on communicating through quiet energy and positive reinforcement to encourage the horse to use their mind. After all, two minds are infinitely better than one and allowing the horse to have a voice opens up so many possibilities!
Lucy teaches clients of all ages and from all disciplines. Having a good relationship with your horse makes you safer, perform better and have more fun! It is so much more enjoyable when you do things together, in harmony. Doing groundwork doesn’t mean you can’t ride and it doesn’t mean you need to ride bareback or without a bit. It’s about your mindset and how you ride/work with your horse, not what you use.
