PROFILE

Rebecca Dawson, I have international training and qualifications.

I am a BHS Accredited professional coach, complete with insurance, DBS check, first aid and continued development (see qualifications).

My depth of training and experience enables me to both start the inexperienced horse and rider and provide foundation training, through to the teaching and coaching required to reach Elementary level dressage.

I have a down to earth, realistic - patient approach, putting safety and wellbeing first, while remaining conscious of the needs of the horse and companion on board.
