A Bit About Your Instructor
Tamsin was born in Zimbabwe where she fell in love with horses and began riding at the age of 5. At 19 she traveled to the UK where she experienced a long term illness and was diagnosed with a chronic muscle and spinal disorder.
After being given a particularly difficult and powerful horse that seemed to defy everything she'd ever learned, Tamsin was forced to readjust her lifelong opinions.
Despite having been a gymnast and rider from a young age, she could no longer rely on being athletic and strong, so her journey in classical training began.

The Journey
She started studying and regularly attending clinics of the modern classical master, Philippe Karl, where her love of a "higher equestrian education" blossomed.
As her journey progressed, she had the privilege of being taught by a variety of classical trainers and her passion for teaching developed.
Tamsin has now trained and qualified as an "ENLIGHTENED EQUITATION" instructor, and specialises in the riders' position and aids.

The Mission
Tamsin has made it her mission to teach her pupils how to use more brain and less brawn. Riding with lightness is not only beneficial to both horse and rider, but has far superior results.
Her ongoing education with Nikki Stephens in the "SCHOOL OF LEGERETE”, and of broad spectrum classical riding and training, is constantly expanding and she is dedicated to helping both rider and horse to achieve true "EQUESTRIAN EQUILIBRIUM!"

Despite the physical difficulties this little mare had to deal with, she was so honest and had a work ethic that was second to none. Thank you so much to Becky for trusting me with this beautiful horse, who I know taught us both so much.
