Lisa Spence (LS) BHSI Proprietor/Manager, Senior Performance Coach

As owner of Hemps Green Equestrian, Lisa is known as the boss! She started Hemps Green Equestrian in 2013 when realising there was a significant gap in the market for a higher level of bespoke tuition required for adult equestrians.

She comes with a depth of knowledge and experience, hard to find in your average riding school. She has been riding and competing all her life and still actively competes at affiliated level in all three disciplines. She has a no-nonsense approach, can sometimes be brutally honest, but has a level of ambition for her clients that is second to none. If you wish to improve your competition skills or achieve your professional qualifications, then she is the coach for you.

She would describe herself as a horseman with meticulous attention to detail and one that always puts her horses first.
