We all need to connect with others who believe in the growth potential of every horse and rider partnership to thrive.
You can be a part of the riding club that gives you more. Find exercises to revitalise your schooling sessions with Coach guidance to help you progress.

Heroes is here for You and Your Horse.
Hi there, I'm Alison!
I’ll be your Club Coach. I have been involved in lots of Riding Clubs as a Rider and a Coach.
When I began to build my website I was determined to bring a positive space for riders to the online world.
I am focussed on recreating the ultimate coaching environment. I enjoy delivering sessions in indoor arenas at special performance day camps and I wanted to share this experience with riders online.
A good performance environment is important for horse and rider to learn.
I concentrate on simple steps and super strengths.
Riders can think about their mindset, to ride in the now and to feel good about their riding.
I am bringing all your favourite aspects of riding and connecting with other riders to Heroes - Your Online Riding Club.

Equestrian Heroes is a Riding Club to support and guide riders . Heroes helps riders thrive through times of challenge and uncertainty.

When you are feeling uncertain, Heroes will help you to pause and then take confident action.
Club Coach Alison Kenward has 30 years coaching experience. Alison will encourage you to make a start with exercises and a clear process for becoming the rider you want to be.
Discover a route map for developing your effectiveness as a rider and support to nurture your relationship with your horse.
When we adopt a new way of doing things or choose to approach riding with a new mindset, the changes can feel uncomfortable at first- making us aware of things we had not considered before but when we get your programme right and find your rider blueprints it will set you free from doubt. You will have a new way to boost your confidence and a better partnership with your horse.
Stop looking for answers through the fuzzy lens of Social Media.
Quit feeling flustered and frustrated.
Stop getting stuck in a pattern of heightened emotions.

Heroes is here for you as you find your new way.

You're 3 steps away from transforming your horse life balance
It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!
1. Join the conversation in The Lounge.
When you want to talk to other riders about your horse, swap stories, share ideas, discuss your competition plans, we are here for you in the Lounge.
There are a range of Challenges in the Lounge too. From the initial introduction ice breakers to the more involved tasks to help you work on your partnership with your horse, this is a fun place to hang out. It’s free for everyone too so come and have a look around.
Come and Look Around
2. Explore a range of topics in The Library. Now even easier with the Brand New App.
The open access library brings you 10 great topics to begin exploring your Equestrian Athlete journey. There is no need to work through the topics in any order so dive in and pick an article. Each article has been designed to introduce an idea and has a quick worksheet to help you reflect on what this might mean for you and your horse.
This is bite sized learning for the busy horse rider. It’s ideal for reading through with a cup of tea and can be filled in online or printed for later.
3. Updated Heroes NOW includes Gold Training.
The Gold Club benefits have been included with Heroes to give you even more. E Training arrives in your inbox complete with links to other ideas around the topic. It doesn’t stop there! There is also a Gold Library with all the content you need to set your Gold Standard in training.
I decided to include this Gold Touch for every member so that everyone can share my favourite articles.
I always put horses first. My Coach ethos is centred around learning new skills and sharing insights.
I still compete and train. I know what it feels like to celebrate milestones and to face challenges.
My approach includes considering how my horse is feeling and reacting to my questions.
Over the past 30 years, I've helped riders around the world to build a great connection with their horses. I have been lucky to love and ride many horses too so I know what it’s like to care for and train horses.
Pictured below is the lovely Veteran horse Salvation, competing with me at Vale View where we placed 10th in the Cavago 2023 British Dressage Associated Championships.
Kind Words
“Alison is an incredibly intuitive coach with an energy that is contagious. The live video catch ups are motivational and inspiring. My horse and I were scoring higher after just one of Alison's sessions.
The distance between us (I am in Australia) is no barrier with Alison's excellent understanding and guidance. I am so proud to be one of her students and to take part in her Rider with a Plan programme.”

"The stables at Northlands is a new equestrian establishment based in Nairobi. As we develop, some of our key objectives are to provide a higher quality of learning for our riders and to enhance opportunities for riding in Kenya. The use of online learning platforms and the technology that goes with them, has been a major advantage making connection to professionals and their wealth of knowledge and experience, easy and seamless.
Alison has been supporting the stables at Northlands as we work to improve lessons and set up to meet international standards. She has been instrumental in our development and we look forward to improving and developing further with her. "
