Sarah Gairdner

Event Rider & Accredited Coach

I’m an event rider and Level 4 Coach based at Danesmoor Eventing, coaching riders in flatwork, showjumping and cross-country from grassroots through to competition.

I produce and compete my own horses and coach riders at Danesmoor, at clinics and at venues around the country.

Coach

I’m a Level 4 Coach and Level 3 British Eventing and British Showjumping Coach. I’m also a Centre10 Advanced Coach, Pony Club Coach and BHS Accredited Professional Coach.

My accreditation includes ongoing professional development, First Aid and Safeguarding training.

Through Centre10, I’ve studied applied psychology for equestrian coaches, giving me practical tools to work with riders on mental preparation and performance alongside the technical aspects of their riding.

I’m also a coach for the Thoroughbred Aftercare Programme (TAP), where riders with former racehorses can access subsidised coaching through the programme.

Rider

I’ve competed at some of the UK’s leading events and continue to produce and compete horses through the levels.

Producing horses for the future, not just today’s results, shapes the decisions I make when I ride and carries into my coaching too.
