“When you have a 10year old child whose greatest wish is ride like Lottie Fry, but her dance partner is an ex-riding school cob of unknown parentage, dressage competition success can feel impossible.
Then we started training with Freya, who 100% believed that this little duo could achieve big things. Freya helped Zara to improve her riding so that she could bring out the best in Mole. With hard work and regular sessions and support from Freya, we have gone from having never competed, to having just qualified for BD Quest national championships, in the space of a year!
Her firm but fun approach to teaching makes lessons information packed, but truly enjoyable for Zara and Mole, who have made huge improvements under Freya’s watchful eye. My friends (adults and children) have also started having lessons with Freya and it’s lovely to see their progress. I wholeheartedly recommend Freya for anyone who wants to be the best they can be. We feel so lucky to have found her!"

“Freya was suggested to me by a friend whose daughter is trained by her. She had been very complimentary about Freya’s kindness and enthusiasm with children, but also how she’d been able to explain technical movements clearly. I found that to be true training with her as an adult.
What I most appreciate is the clarity with which Freya explains dressage technicality, but without too much pressure or focus on getting things right immediately.
I’m also very grateful that she takes me seriously as a rider, and focuses on getting the best out of me and my horse, however amateur I might be. She has taken my aspirations seriously, and every time she coaches me I feel like my horse and I move significantly forwards.
With Freya, there is a balance between ambition, application and focus, but also making the process enjoyable!”
Sarah McCrory
“I’ve been having lessons with Freya for a year now and looking back I have seen a massive difference in both myself and my mare Shants!
Not only has she built up so much muscle, she also feels like a complete different horse to ride from last year and is so much more relaxed and happy to work. As well as helping me to improve my seat and posture, Freya has also taught me a completely different approach to riding. A way of asking the horse to do different things whilst also explaining how it benefits the horse' way of going. Freya is very knowledgeable and I wouldn't recommend anyone else. Can’t thank Freya enough and look forward to more lessons!”

“Since starting lessons with Freya, she has completely restored my love for riding! She has taken me from riding once or twice a week to having my horse back in full time work. I’ve started competing at affiliated events, working towards moving up the levels and actually enjoying riding again!
She is so supportive and always willing to offer advice even outside of lessons! She is also hugely knowledgeable on the psychology side of this sport. Freya focuses on my mindset when riding and supports me out at competitions to help me work towards overcoming and dealing with my competition nerves.
I feel so incredibly lucky to have found such a great instructor who not only genuinely cares but who has become a friend too!
Both of my horses are looking and feeling better than ever and I really cannot wait to see where the future takes us with Freya’s help! 🥰 Freya is the BEST instructor and I would highly recommend a lesson to anyone!”

“For me, having a good relationship with my coach was something I really wanted. The second I met Freya I knew I had found that. She is kind, encouraging and supportive in every way.
Being around my horses is my happy place, I do it to have fun and Freya adds to that. She leads fun and challenging exercises, ensuring that we don’t get bored and are constantly learning.
I feel Freya has always listened to me and understood my goals with my horses. She takes onboard everything I say as she tailors our lessons to help us progress towards these goals.
I really do feel privileged to have found a coach that I trust so well to guide me and my horses through our journeys. Freya is a part of the team I couldn’t be without and I am so excited for mine and my horses’ futures with her.”
Ellie Cheek
“Freya was a great help to both Euro and I by coming to school him on a regular basis. Her experience quickly became obvious when I watched her ride him, I knew I could trust her completely even on days I wasn’t able to be there. She is both a friendly face at the stable as well as a complete professional and I would definitely recommend!"
Livvy Crisp
“Freya has been a massive help whilst bringing my older horse back into work. Since using Freya, Caspen has felt far stronger! He is building muscle in all the correct places and is feeling the best he has in years - despite being an ex-eventer with high mileage.
She is conscientious, polite and always tailors exercises to suit horse and rider whilst still challenging them. I would highly recommend Freya to anyone both as an instructor and rider!”
