Coaches

Active Rider uses a variety of top coaches, many of whom have competed at a very high level in a number of Equine disciplines such as Showjumping, Dressage, Eventing and Showing. Each Active Rider camp enjoys a mixture of different coaches so that Riders enjoy plenty of variety and do not tire of the Camp schedules.

As part of the Active Rider camp, coaches may provide a demonstration of Showjumping or Dressage using one of the novice horses from the camp or one of his/her own advanced horses.
