Cathy Taylor
Located at the nationally renowned Somerford Park Farm, Cathy Taylor has built a successful coaching, schooling, competition and livery business where every aspect of both horse and rider needs are catered for.
COACHING
The perfect mix of fun and technique, Cathy’s no nonsense approach to teaching really brings out the best in her students.
As a successful eventer herself, Cathy can coach many different disciplines including dressage, showjumping and cross country techniques. Coaching is available to all levels of horse and rider and can be done as a 1:1 or group lesson (dependent on current Covid guidelines).
Whilst Cathy can help even the most experienced riders improve, she also has a great track record at bringing on younger or less experienced riders who are keen to further their riding skills.
Lessons can take place at your own facility or for an additional fee, can take place at the amazing facilities that Somerford Park Farm has to offer. (Please note any arena hire fees to be paid directly to Somerford).
Cathy is also able to review video footage of you and your horse in action and provide critique and areas for improvement. Please get in touch if you are interested in this service.
SCHOOLING & COMPETITION
Whatever your aims for your horse, we can help you get there! We break, produce and compete horses following a carefully planned competition schedule.
We consider all aspects of your horse including diet, fitness and past experiences to develop a fully tailored training and performance programme that is specific to both you and them.
Competition livery is an all inclusive package that will allow you to enjoy all the thrills of horse ownership and watch your horse compete and progress through the exciting world of eventing.
As well as competing horses for owners, Cathy also produces and develops her own quality horses.
If you are interested in investing in a competition horse either as full or part owner, please get in touch as we would love to hear from you.
