With over 30 years of experience in the equestrian world, I’m passionate about creating thoughtful, respectful solutions for riders and horses alike.

As the founder of Aspire Equestrian Riding Academy, I focus on redefining how we learn and teach riding—emphasising mindful training, sustainable progress, and the importance of understanding both horse and rider as a team.

Having come from a strict, regimented show jumping training in Poland in the 90s but forever seeking to educate myself, I made sure I pushed myself to experience different perspectives and cultures of training both horses and people.

My teaching journey has taken me on incredible adventures across Europe. Starting in 2008 I organised then rather unique 3-4 day clinics in the UK and Norway, collaborating with a Doctor of Chiropractic to combine biomechanics expertise with tailored rider training.

Smaller versions of those - the Academy training weekends brought me to Italy, Poland, and later Portugal, where I spent a year immersed in a culture of training that transformed my perspective on how to train horses ethically and effectively.

After six rewarding years as the resident coach at Brackenhill Stud in Fawley, I now live in Henley-on-Thames with my partner, his two teenage daughters, and our three very active dogs.

My latest project, The Horsemanship Nexus, expands on my mission by uniting passionate professionals and innovative ideas to empower horse lovers seeking to do things differently. This initiative embodies my commitment to fostering growth, respect, and understanding, offering a pathway to meaningful change in training, riding, and care.

I believe in finding solutions—whether through coaching, writing, or resources like A Horsewoman’s Journal. My work is driven by curiosity, empathy, and a dedication to helping riders and horses unlock their full potential in ways that prioritise connection and mutual trust.
