Sarah Gairdner

Event Rider & Accredited Coach

My ethos is to help riders grow in confidence, trust their own knowledge, and make informed choices within their sport. Whether you’re developing strong foundations or chasing competition goals, I’m here to support you and your horse as a team.

 

Coach

 

I'm a Level 3 British Eventing & British Showjumping Coach. I'm a Centre 10 Advanced Coach, a Pony Club Coach
and I'm BHS Accredited too. This means that I'm fully insured, Up to Date with CPD (I'm currently studying for my Level 4) and I have current First Aid and Safeguarding Training. As a Centre 10 Coach, l've studied Applied Psychology for Equestrian Coaches. This gives me lots of tools to help Riders work on their mindset and mental preparation.

 

For riders, this means you’ll be working with a coach who:

  • Brings both technical expertise and applied psychology (from Centre10 training) to support your mindset and mental preparation.

  • Offers safe, accredited coaching recognised across equestrian sport.

  • Understands how to tailor sessions for grassroots riders through to competitive athletes, with the confidence that comes from ongoing professional development.

I use these tools to help you build confidence, stay consistent, and enjoy your riding journey.

Rider

 

I’ve competed at some of the UK’s leading events and continue to produce horses through the levels. For me, eventing is about producing horses for the future, not just today’s results and that principle carries into my coaching too.
