UK - BHSAI and BHSIT Australia - NCAS Level 1 General International - Eponaquest Equine Facilitated Learning Instructor and Socially Intelligent Leadership Coach. Louise is also an Intuitive Trauma Informed Breathwork Facilitator and uses this to help students where required.
Louise has over 40 years of coaching experience in Australia and England. She holds coaching qualifications with both the British Horse Society and the Australian National Coaching Accreditation Scheme. She is also an active and successful competitor and a previous member of the Western Australian Senior Dressage Squad for several years with two horses: DP Finean and Lord Louie (who was also a previous member of the Australian National Futures Squad for young horses). Louise developed both these horses from youngsters to FEI, taking great care to ensure the relationship she had with them both was held above their success. Both Finean and Louie were used in demonstrations with international coaches to demonstrate the ‘Happy Athlete’. More recently she has demonstrated this with Lord Louie riding bridle-less in lecture demonstrations. Louise offers private and group lessons and often travels to coach at clinics and equestrian camps. Louise's horse-riding clients span from those just starting out to riders successfully competing in official dressage and eventing. She helps people set goals and provides ongoing and online support to enable the progress everyone is looking for. She delivers online lectures to provide opportunity for clients to gain underpinning knowledge to help improve their understanding of the ‘why’ and ‘how’, aiming to provide a sound basis for her students to understand the practice so that they can become thinking, sensitive riders who keep their horses' health and wellbeing at the fore.
