Coaching
Bringing out the best in your riding
Coaching is more than helping a rider develop their abilities, your coach should also be a mentor, role model, critic, support network and a friend. Your coach should also be qualified with the skills and experience to ensure you progress and achieve your goals; that is the difference between a good coach and a great one. I specialise in helping riders progress by developing a strong foundational knowledge, that helps them gain a deep understanding of what they are doing and why.
What is different about Lyndsey Adamson Coaching?
My coaching will enable you to build a strong partnership with your horse and maximise your potential.
what my clients say
“Lyndsey has endless enthusiasm, her ability to understand the mechanics of horse and rider enables the rider to get the most out of their horse even if they are not perfect. She has gone over and above, to help me. We embarked on the journey with Lyndsey having no expectations for our competitive dressage career. Over the summer we entered online dressage competitions and to my complete surprise he had numerous wins (over 70%) and placings. We know there is still a lot of work to be done but Charlie is now able to engage and carry himself and I can now ride him so much better; both of which neither of us were capable of doing before we met Lyndsey.”
— Caroline M and Charlie
“Bailey and I have improved so much with Lyndsey. She works hard on getting the rider’s position correct and explains everything in a way that I can understand, and she adapts her approach to each individual rider. She has given me my confidence back again! I am so pleased with this achievement. She is a fantastic rider and is deeply passionate about teaching and physio. She gives 110% every time. I really enjoy my lessons with her, and Bailey enjoys being back out again, the transformation is amazing!!”
— Hayley M and Bailey
In addition to teaching, my coaching also includes as standard*:
First lesson
rider analysis
Regardless of rider experience or discipline, each new client’s first session focuses on rider position and balance using video analysis software and Visualise ® jacket. This is the essential first step towards improved performance that will last.
Programme planning
AND goal setting
I ensure each of my clients gets the individual attention they need to achieve their goals. This includes reflecting on past performance to identify areas for improvement.
Video analysis
OnForm video analysis software enables me to remotely watch, analyse and discuss performance between lessons, to help build confidence in your own training.
Dressage Competition Preparation
For those preparing for competition I offer a unique opportunity for dressage riders to improve their marks. Ride a dressage test in simulated event conditions, followed by a full lesson focussing areas identified for improvement.
