Te Rangi Equestrian


Good riding starts with a good partnership. I coach riders to understand their horses, improve skills and feel more confident in the saddle.

I offer flatwork and jump lessons, horsemanship and groundwork, and confidence-building and trail sessions — all designed to help riders and horses develop together.

As an Eventing rider, I’ve trained with a range of top eventers, dressage trainers, and leading horsemanship educators, and I draw on all of these influences to create a balanced, thoughtful approach to teaching. My coaching blends technical skill, clear communication, and an understanding of how horses think and learn.

My lessons are supportive, practical, and tailored to each rider, with a focus on enjoyment, progress, and partnership.

Let’s build confidence, connection, and harmony with your horse — and have some fun along the way!
