All our staff are DBS checked, have attended a Child protection course and the instructors are First Aid Trained. They are like members of our family and are totally appreciated for their friendly, fun outlook in life. They all have a passion for horses and love helping our customers achieve the same outlook.
I have been working with horses since the age of 16. I became a BHS Intermediate Instructor (both stable management and riding parts held) over 15 years ago. I have the BHS Stage 4 Coaching certificate. I also have a Diploma in teaching and lifelong learning. I have a wealth of knowledge from training point to point horses, working on dealing yards, producing showing horses to HOYS level. Currently training to Medium/Advanced Level Dressage on Sir Baltimore with Mette Assouline and Emile Faurie.
I love teaching and watching clients improve and achieve their own ambitions and dreams. Braeside started out as a small family business and has progressed into what it is today whilst retaining the same family friendly values.
I trained at Braeside for my Level 2 and 3 City and Guilds Work based Diploma. I passed my BHS Stage 3 with flying colours, shortly followed by my BHS AI qualification. I am currently passed my BHS Stage 4 Ride and Lunge, now training for my Stage 4 care and Caoching Certificate. I thoroughly enjoy teaching students of all abilities and watching them progress and improve lesson by lesson. I also organise the Pony Club activities and camps. Riding is still a huge hobby of mine so even though I work with all these beautiful horses and ponies everyday; I enjoy Training and competing on Jet in both Dressage and Jumping.
Emily is very successful with her coaching methods showing lots of experience in all levels and disciplines she is very popular with all Braesides Customers. Emily loves helping to with the schooling and backing of the many horses that we have coming through Braeside. Emily is always willing to help no matter what the situation and is Jane's rock.
