Alison Kenward
Dressage rider, coach and founder of Equestrian Heroes
I’m a dressage rider and coach with more than 30 years’ experience helping riders and horses learn together.
I created Equestrian Heroes from the things that have always interested me as a rider and coach: how horses and riders communicate, what we notice when we ride, the questions that follow us home, and how learning continues between one ride and the next.
I’m still learning too. Horses make sure of that.
Coaching That Starts With the Horse
Every horse I’ve worked with has taught me something.
When I coach, I watch the horse and rider together: their balance, communication, preparation, the horse’s way of going and the subtle changes that happen as they work.
I’m interested in the questions as much as the answers. What changed? What did the horse respond to? What became easier? What would be useful to try next?
More than 30 years of coaching has taught me to stay curious. Horses keep the conversation going.
