Having gained her instructors qualifications from Cannington College and Hartley Wood Equestrian Centre, where she was yard manager, Tina has run her own yard for the past 10 years working as a freelance equestrian coach schooling horses at every level and competing in dressage and eventing as well as teaching riders from all levels and disciplines. Tina has also worked and trained with top professional riders Ginny Leng and US three-day event rider Cindy Rawson and is currently training with Grand Prix Dressage rider Rhett Bird.

From her lifetime experience with all sorts of horses Tina developed her interest in helping horses presenting with both physical and behavioural problems, believing that all horses respond to a consistent and empathetic approach. Utilising both traditional skills and techniques such as bodywork and connective riding, Tina works holistically with both horse and rider to identify and resolve underlying issues which may be inhibiting progress. Having also spent the past 4 years studying for a Post Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy Tina is now a qualified therapist and has an active role within a psychology team part time, she is able to help build a positive relationship between horse and rider, leading to top performance whether on the competition circuit or enjoying a quiet hack.
