UK Coaching Certificate (UKCC) Level 2 Accredited Equestrian Coach
Groundwork
Bodywork focussed groundwork with the goal of working with your horses body to improve any weaknesses, mental challenges, or proprioceptive issues that your horse may face. These sessions require your horse to have had a bodywork session with Megan in the past. By having had a bodywork session prior to groundwork, this gives better insight into any physical restrictions your horse may face when it comes to groundwork, and ensures that Megan can help you work with your horses body for overall improvement. Suitable for ridden and non-ridden horses.
Sessions can include; groundwork, polework, and help with reccomended exercises and stretches from your bodywork treatment report.
Megan has been doing groundwork for over 15 years with horses, starting young horses from the ground up, working with behavioural issues, and now combining her knowledge of psychology with bodywork and biomechanics since qualifying as a Sports Massage and Shiatsu therapist. This combination in a groundwork session will allow your horse get the best out sessions physically and mentally. Megan also has experience with positive reinforcement training, and will work with methods that your horse responds positively to, to ensure you and your horse find sessions engaging while working in a mentally and physically beneficial way.
If you’re looking for someone with a kind approach, who believes in creating a positive partnership between horse and human, and that horses deserve time, empathy, and understanding that takes their physical capeabilities into account as opposed to more traditional training methods – then feel free to reach out to Megan via text at 0413123465, or through social media (Facebook/Instagram) @megansimpsoneq.
Coaching
Confidence, age, and ability level are no barriers to success. Whether you’re aiming to build confidence, learn new skills, or want to better your overall balance and strength – Megan’s empathetic and constructive approach to coaching will help you reach your goals as a rider and partner to your horse. Sessions are based with horse and rider biomechanics in mind to ensure both parties benefit positively from them.
Sessions are tailored to suit individuals goals. Please ensure if you are organising a group session that all riders are roughly at the same level of riding.
All levels and abilities welcome. Megan has worked with many riders in the past to regain and build confidence and balance after a fall or injury. After going through a serious riding accident of her own in 2020, and working through the process of getting back on board, she can help you overcome whatever it is that’s keeping you from being the rider you want to be.
Megan is a UKCC Level 2 qualified coach, and has been a coach in the UK and Australia, both with private clients and in public riding schools through previous employment. Helping people unlock their horse’s and their own potential, in a fun, positive environment is what she strives for.
