Training with Sharon has had a huge impact on my competition results. Before working with Sharon, I struggled with consistency and felt unsure going into the ring. But with her support and guidance, everything started to change.

Sharon’s coaching style is clear, supportive, and incredibly effective. She helped me sharpen my riding skills, improve my preparation, and bring out the best in both me and my horse. Her attention to detail and understanding of what it takes to succeed in competition made all the difference.

Since working with Sharon, I’ve gained confidence in my ability and started seeing real results. I feel more prepared going into shows, and I’ve achieved placings that I never thought were possible.

If you're looking to improve your performance and get results in the ring, I highly recommend Sharon. Her knowledge, encouragement, and practical approach to coaching are second to none.

I've had the pleasure of working with Sharon Johnson , and I can honestly say it's been a transformative experience—both in and out of the saddle. Sharon brings a unique blend of deep equestrian knowledge, fitness expertise, and powerful coaching that goes beyond just riding skills.

Her rider biomechanics course helped me finally understand how my posture and strength affect my horse's performance. The sessions were engaging, progressive, and full of "aha!" moments. Sharon explains things clearly, with patience and enthusiasm, making even complex topics feel accessible.

What really sets Sharon apart is her holistic approach. Whether it's building riding confidence, managing stress and mindset, or improving physical fitness for riders, she tailors everything to your goals. She's supportive, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping you grow as a rider and a person.

If you're looking to level up your riding, boost your confidence, or find better balance in your equestrian life, I highly recommend Sharon. You won't find a more dedicated or inspiring coach!

I came to Sharon looking for help with both my riding technique and my mindset. I was struggling with confidence in training, and it completely unraveled when it came to competitions. I’d lose focus, second-guess myself, and it felt like all my hard work just fell apart under pressure.

Sharon’s coaching was the turning point for me. Her approach blends practical riding guidance with powerful mindset work – a combination I hadn’t found anywhere else. She helped me fine-tune my position, improve my communication with my horse, and most importantly, believe in myself again.

Through her support, I’ve gone from just hoping to ‘get through’ a competition to actually riding with purpose and focus. I’ve had my best results yet this season and finally feel like I’m riding to my true potential.

Sharon doesn’t just coach you – she empowers you. If you want to improve both in and out of the saddle, she’s the real deal

Before working with Sharon, I was constantly battling nerves every time I rode. My confidence had hit rock bottom, and I was questioning whether I should even keep going with horses at all. But from our very first session, Sharon made me feel heard, supported, and understood.

Her calm, practical approach to mindset helped me recognise the patterns that were holding me back. With her guidance, I’ve learned how to manage my fear, refocus my thoughts, and build habits that support my riding goals.

I now ride with a sense of calm and clarity I never thought possible. I’ve even started enjoying my lessons again – something I haven’t done in years!

If you're a nervous rider, I can't recommend Sharon's mindset coaching enough. It's truly changed not just how I ride, but how I see myself.

Sharon has been teaching me and my young mare for several months now when I found myself struggling with self confidence. My mare had reared over on me when I first bought her and this had manifested itself into quite a battle with my confidence! Sharon is an excellent teacher who can evaluate a situation and know exactly what action to take to help horse and rider, taking things back to basics if necessary. Sharon is very patient, and has a knack of driving you on without you even realising! Sharon doesn't clock watch, goes above and beyond to ensure you get the best out of your lesson even if this goes over your allotted time - all she wants is for you to finish positively. Because of her dedication and determination to help me and Lola establish a positive partnership, we were able to go to our first SJ competition today and we both performed brilliantly and confidently. I cannot thank her enough for how much she has and will continue to develop us. Thank you Sharon x

Sharon is a brilliant coach, so experienced and her attention to detail and the way she notice’s everything has helped me sooo much. I am now out enjoying BD with my hot headed stressy mare which is something I never thought I’d say but thanks to Sharon’s help and support we are loving it! Not just the support during a lesson either but knowing she’s at the end of a text anytime and always so keen to know my score see my sheet and watch my test means so much

I started training with Sharon last August I had bought a youngster and wanted a trainer that was patient and really liked to start with the basics. We have come a long way in a short time. Sharon explains things very simply and doesn’t overload you. She’s always at the end of the phone when I need advice..I would highly recommend her teaching methods and she is extremely knowledgeable.

Had my first lesson with Sharon this week. I enjoyed her straight to the point approach and look forward to seeing how we can progress with her help

Sharon is a fantastic instructor, understanding both horse and rider and how to get them working in sync with each other. I have had lessons both with my mare who is at elementary affiliated level and my youngster who struggles to do a circle, both of which have come on leaps and bounds, Sharon is great at identifying where we may need to go back to basics so we can then get that little bit further whether it's keeping my naughty left hand still or having them more between my legs. I can't recommend her enough!

Having bitten off more than I could chew with an ex-racer, Sharon came to my rescue about 12 months ago. We are now making so much progress. I would never have managed it alone. Not a minute of lesson time is wasted - we are both physically and mentally shattered by the end! Her advice, hints and tips are invaluable. Thank you Sharon!

Sharon has been so great giving me confidence with my ex racer. I was never a jumper before and she took me right back to basics and help us build together.

Always reliable and a fantastic coach

I started having lessons with Sharon about 6 weeks ago now, I had got stuck as how to unlock my horses ability to improve her dressage. Sharon took us back to basics, and made everything very clear for my horse to understand, and when she became stuck/confused approaching it a different way so she could manage how to do it, allowing her time to build muscle strength before we move onto the next stages. The transformation in her is quite amazing, going from a giraffe like thoroughbred into a dressage diva!!
Sharon’s way of teaching is calm and put across in a way that is easy to understand.

Sharon is undoubtedly the best instructor I have had. She focuses completely on you and getting the best out of you and your horse. I love her training methods - after every lesson I come away feeling confident and with something to focus on. I can’t recommend her enough.

I’ve been having lessons with Sharon for several years now, and she is without a doubt the best instructor I’ve had! The change in both me and my horse has been amazing, and she has been so supportive and encouraging throughout our journey.

When Sharon told me she was moving away, I was gutted and hated the thought of having to find a new instructor, but then the idea of virtual lessons came up. During the last 12 months we’ve all become accustomed to the likes of Zoom and Facetime, but a horseriding lesson over a video call? Certainly not something I’d have thought of before, but if it meant I could continue lessons with Sharon I was more than willing to try it!
Despite a few technical difficulties at the beginning, the lessons have gone surprisingly well, so much so that some of our best ever sessions have been over Facetime! I don’t know if its because Murphy doesn’t have the distraction of someone on the ground, but it’s amazing how much we’ve come on over the past couple of months. It’s so easy to do too - I put my phone at C, pop in my wireless headphones and away we go!

I highly recommend Sharon to anyone looking for a new instructor, and to anyone who is missing her since she’s moved - please give the virtual lessons a try, I promise you won’t regret it!
