I’m Gen, the founder of Champion Equestrian Coaching. I provide professional, fully-insured, and supportive coaching for riders across Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk.
As an Accredited Professional Coach based near Newmarket, I help riders move past plateaus and find their confidence again. My approach is rooted in technical expertise, but the goal is always the same: to make sure you leave your session feeling inspired, capable, and – most importantly – having had a great time with your horse. Whether we are refining your flatwork or finding your rhythm over jumping lines, I believe that the best learning happens when the atmosphere is positive and rewarding.
My philosophy: technical foundations, personal growth
I believe that every successful horse-and-rider partnership is built on a strong foundation. I came to coaching later in life to help riders find the “missing pieces” in their riding. I realised that while many have the passion, but lack a clear “roadmap” to reach their goals.
I am a firm believer that credentials matter in this industry. You can read more about the importance of coaching qualifications here, but in short: I am committed to “practicing what I preach” – both as a coach and as a rider – and maintaining the highest standards of professional development. This ensures that the progress you make during our sessions is backed by current, evidence-based techniques.
Why train with me?
I am committed to creating a safe, supportive, and evidence-based learning environment. My coaching is:
- Safety-first: Fully insured, DBS cleared, and up-to-date with First Aid and Safeguarding certifications.
- Goal-oriented: We focus on your specific ambitions, whether that’s a confident hack or a clear round.
- Empowered riding: I focus on teaching techniques you can apply in-between our sessions, ensuring you continue to progress every time you sit in the saddle.
- Tailored to the individual: I adapt to your horse’s temperament and your own learning style, taking the time to understand your goals, motivations, and any fears or concerns you may have.
Beyond the arena
I’ve been riding my whole life and am at my happiest when I’m around horses. While I love the precision of a technical training session, I also value the freedom of a long hack or a “cobweb-clearing” gallop in open space. This balance of discipline and enjoyment is exactly what I bring to my clients.
