Coaching: Our Approach

“Dressage is a holistic sport and the horse’s attitude is reflected by the extent of its suppleness.” Bennett Conn

Sally Stagg’s coach and mentor Bennett Conn has been the major influence in our approach to training horses and riders at Daylesford Equestrian.

With the knowledge that every horse and rider combination is unique partnership we work with you and your horse to achieve the absolute best outcomes, whatever their goals, be they Grand Prix, young horse preparation or individual growth gives us the biggest buzz.

We believe that the equine disciplines begin with dressage, hence we treat all the horses as a gymnast training horses and riders to become fit, strong and supple in body and mind. We know it takes time, dedication. and hard work to train horses and their riders and it is our passion coach you along this journey. We love riding and coaching and get a massive amount of joy from seeing the horses and riders we coach develop all the way through to Grand Prix.
