Freelance RI? North Bucks/South Northants/Beds

[acw295]

On the hunt for a freelance RI to come out to me and Molly - general schooling and eventually some jumping. Any suggestions?

I want someone who's firm but fair - but not the type who'll want me to try all sorts of gadgets or want me to saw on her mouth to get her into an outline, that's not my thing at all. Just want to go back to basics and work on her working nicely and me riding properly

Where abouts are you and how many times are you look for someone to come out, as i maybe able to come out to you

I tend to be out your way at least once every 2 weeks

Petros Spinopolis is very good, his adverts are in Chiltern & Thames Rider he doesn't faff me with gadgets or scream when Ace isn't in an outline but he does give me lots of things to work on and I think he's great!

Hi, I'm in Drayon Parslow, just outside MK towards Leighton Buzzard (MK17 postcode). I was thinking of fortnightly to begin with

Ooh really? Do you cater for novices though?! I've had RS lessons for 20+ years but totally new to the horse owning and schooling malarky and Molly's out of practice (although she has done it before)

We have floodlit outdoor school and jumping paddock

There are only 2 requirements for me to teach someone.

1) They have to be serious about wanting to improve and be prepared to put in the effort between sessions.

2) They have a sense of humour!

David is a fantastic teacher, very down to earth, and easy to understand.
