For those of you too far away, have work commitments, no transport, or would like a few pointers between lessons...
This help can be provided whether it's In-Hand, ridden, or more general advice. It’s always nice to meet someone face-to-face and work in person, but sadly it’s not always possible.
So, I’m trying to offer as much feedback, advice and one-to-one help as possible, while making it fun and professional but without the pressure.
As you may know my passion for helping others achieve their goals and supporting them in a way that suits each individual horse and rider personally is most important to me.
'I’m using Sams video lessons cannot believe how useful they are. It’s a great opportunity to keep reviewing my progress from the edited video Sam sends back with full notes, then a live chat with her on anything I’m finding difficult. Can definitely see this method as a great option to lessons when it’s not possible to get together. Thanks Sam for all your efforts.'

I offer support and feedback in a number of ways to help each individual.
Typically I ask for an initial email with some background knowledge of yourself and your horse, together with your goals. Based on this we would agree a number of short videos showing how you work, which I can then spend time analysing.
I provide feedback through a variety of methods. Marked up pictures, including diagrams, are particularly useful to allow people to understand specific needs and see their progress.
I also find it helpful having a time slot to personally discuss my analysis. Behind this I like to send my written up notes, with pictures, back to you together with a homework plan for you to work through.
The video and support packages I offer include 1 x hour of my time, comprising receipt and analysis of up to 5 x mini videos, written feedback and exercises and 20 minutes phone feedback.
Additionally, I offer as much one-to-one help and support as you need at my standard half hour or hourly lesson rate beyond this.
