1. Introducing the latest sponsored rider to join SJE - Sally Young.

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 3rd Nov 2026

   Welcoming Sally Young and Cherry to SJE

   I’m delighted to welcome Sally Young as an SJE sponsored rider, alongside her young Highland mare, Cherry.

   

   This is a particularly lovely partnership for me to support because I’ve had the pleasure of being part of Cherry’s journey since she was a baby. We started her ridden work around a year ago, so watching her grow up and begin this next chapter with Sally has been very special.

   Sally rode as a child before life, as it so often does, took her in other directions. She returned to riding later in life, and Highland ponies are very much her breed of choice. I originally worked with her other pony, Morel, and now it’s Cherry’s turn to step up.

   

   Showing is one of Sally’s interests, and she and Cherry have already enjoyed an outing to the Highland Show this year. But their life together involves much more than the show ring. Sally enjoys all disciplines, and her ponies have a varied life, with schooling, outings and beach adventures all part of the picture—as these photographs show!

   

   That variety fits well with my approach to coaching. There is so much value in developing a partnership through different experiences, taking the time to build understanding and confidence, and enjoying the everyday work along the way.

   Having been involved from Cherry’s early days, I’m looking forward to continuing to support them as their ridden partnership develops, both in their training and wherever their adventures take them.

   Welcome to the SJE team, Sally and Cherry. I’m very pleased to be part of your next chapter, and I look forward to sharing more of your journey.

2. 📢 Why I’m Increasing My Prices – And What It Means for You

   Posted on 12:00pm Sunday 20th Jul 2025

   📢 Why I’m Increasing My Prices – And What It Means for You
   
   

   At Sharon Johnson Equestrian, my mission has always been to support riders and individuals like you in building confidence, improving biomechanics, achieving balance (both in and out of the saddle), and creating meaningful transformation—physically, mentally, and emotionally.

   Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of coaching so many of you through personal breakthroughs, riding goals, mindset shifts, and more. I’m incredibly grateful for your trust and continued support.

   As my business grows and evolves, I want to be fully transparent with you about a change that’s coming soon:

   📈 My Prices Are Increasing from 1st September 2025

   This decision hasn’t been made lightly. Like many small businesses, I’ve experienced rising costs—everything from software, equipment, travel, arena hire, to ongoing training and development (which I regularly invest in to give you the best experience possible).

   To continue delivering the high-quality, personalised coaching and support you deserve, I’ll be updating the pricing of some services, including:

   • 1:1 coaching sessions

   • Group coaching 

   • Courses and specialist programs

   🔒 Lock in Current Prices Before 28th August 2025

   As a thank you for being part of this journey, I’m offering all existing clients the opportunity to lock in current rates until 28th August 2025. So, if you’ve been considering booking a new block of sessions, joining a program, or securing a coaching package—now is a great time to do so.

   💬 Why This Change Matters

   Price increases aren’t just about keeping up with costs—they’re also about raising the value of what I deliver. This means more tailored coaching, improved resources, better systems, and ultimately, better results for you. I want every rider and coaching client I work with to feel supported, empowered, and seen.

   🙏 Thank You

   I genuinely love what I do—and it’s because of clients like you. Your commitment, trust, and transformation inspire me every day. I’m excited about the future of Sharon Johnson Equestrian, and even more excited to support you on your next steps—wherever you are in your riding or life journey.

   If you have any questions, I’m just a message away.

   With best wishes,
   Sharon
