Lyn has a lifetimes experience with horses.
Having trained & focused upon Classical dressage as her early speciality.
Over the years Lyn has gained a wealth of competition experience mainly in Dressage, Show Jumping & Showing.

As part of the natural progression for someone so dedicated,
Lyn became a BHS qualified Instructor in 1982 and started working as a Freelance Instructor.

Not satisfied with this... Lyn committed to the management responsibility of not one but two successful Riding Schools.

The last being a large BHS approved, Exam centre (Stage 1 & 2) & BD Competition Centre. This was to occupy most of her time over the next two decades.

For the last six years, Lyn has Western trained with David Lloyd, Michael Langford (Western Equestrian Society) and Christy Leach(American Quarter Horse Association)
