Julie Hyslop BHSAI/BHSII

British Dressage Accredited Trainer - Julie owns VVEq with husband Mark. She trained at Talland with Pammy Hutton for 3 valuable years, She has 25 years of experience of horse care and just as important – customer care. She regularly rode as part of the hugely successful Fosse Manor team-chase team, evented and has done the Melton Cross Country Ride 10 times.  She has ridden and produced show hacks and hunters at county level and qualified at HOYS, Julie has qualified and been placed at the Regional Dressage Championships for the last four years. 

Julie's young horse 'DHI Krackatoa' was purchased in March 2006 and had not been competed. Since Julie has owned him, he has won numerous BD tests and been consistently placed at the regionals. Julie trains with Ian Woodhead whose input over the last two years has been invaluable.

Julie has a great rapport with ‘quirky’ horses and freely admits to preferring retraining difficult horses and enjoys the challenge - Julie is always on the lookout for another special star to retrain.  Her pupils are out competing BD with great success and they don’t often come home without BD points or a qualification for the regionals.  Although she is passionate about training and competing with the dressage livery clients she is equally caring about teaching the less experienced clients and puts her heart and soul into this.  Just as she enjoys training difficult horses she is very experienced and understanding when teaching a novice or nervous client who has perhaps experienced problems elsewhere.

Caroline Moore

BHSI, BE Accredited Trainer - Caroline has coached many competitive partnerships from grass roots level right up to advanced level eventing. Caroline holds the BHS Instructors certificate and is a British Eventing accredited trainer. Since March 2005, Caroline has been selected along with 5 other trainers to be a part of 'The World Class Coaching Programme'. This is a 3 year programme providing extensive and exclusive coach training from international trainers such as Yogi Breisner, Kenneth Clawson, Lucinda Green and Ian Woodhead.

One of Carolines major coaching achievements has been getting the Belvoir Pony Club Horse Trials Team through to the championship for the third year running. Out of 32 top national teams they achieved 5th place in 2003 and runners up in 2004 and 2005. Carolines own competitive career has mainly consisted of bringing young event horses up through the grades. She has ridden successfully at four CCI**, five CCI*** and has ridden around Burghley CCI**** twice. Caroline is an outstanding, highly driven and hugely inspirational eventing trainer.

We feel sure that our team of experienced trainers are the best in the Midlands, offering everybody whatever their chosen equestrian sport - top quality training in the best facilities - indoor and out, from grass root riders with/without their own horses, all the way up to advanced partnerships.
