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.
Kerry has been working for Hemps Green Equestrian since May 2019. She began as a level 2 apprentice and completed her apprenticeship at Hemps Green. She continued as a full-time member of staff and progressed to head girl. She has obtained her BHS stages 2 and 3 and her Coach 3 qualification.
Kerry is quiet and patient and particularly good with younger children and novice, nervous riders or those suffering with anxiety. Kerry is good for clients who are after the quietly, quietly approach. She is calm, methodical, and consistent and has a quiet friendly manner and will help you to progress.
Sarah has many years’ experience with horses and regularly competes her own cob. She was head girl for Lisa over 25 years ago when she left to have her now grown-up family.
Many of you will have met her helping on the yard or passed her stables at the top of the drive. We are delighted that she has finally agreed to get back to coaching and her organised, efficient manner will be an asset to our current team of coaches. Her many years of practical horse ownership and time spent on the hunting field will make her a great coach for those that wish to be progressive, practical but not necessarily competition discipline specific.
Her mature but effective approach is sure to help you grow in confidence and ability.
Sarah is also responsible for the clubhouse so make sure you wash your cups up or she will be after you!
