SUSIE PILBEAM

Susie Pilbeam has been a long-standing and popular instructor with Naphill Riding Club. She's taught in and around the counties of Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire for over twenty-five years; supporting riders from their first tentative steps to becoming successful competitors.

 

Susie always aims, to inspire, build confidence and keep riding fun. Her flatwork, pole physio clinics and showjumping sessions always get great feedback.

IAN CAST

Ian has trained with a number of international riders (including Charlotte Dujardin), trainers and judges; he continues to attend training sessions with and observe their skills on a regular basis.

 

He works with a variety of clients from Prelim to Grand Prix, National to International Level. He also works with Event Riders and Show Jumpers on developing their flatwork.

​

Ian's sessions usually take place at Pipers Valley Farm in Saunderton.

​

He's understandably one of our pricier instructors, but every member who has had a lesson sings his praises and finds it well worth the cost!
