Kelly Lessel Rider Performance Coach Rider Performance Specialist. Upcoming PhD student researching Mental health in Equestrian Coaches. I am also very good at training horses to be very 'rideable'.

I am a Mental Health First Aider going through the process of applying for a PhD to investigate the prevalence of mental health in equestrian coaches and how best to support them. Additionally, I am a BHS Stage 3 Coach and Stage 4 Stable Manager, List 6 BD Judge, CAVA Assessor and hold a Level 3 Certificate in Education. I received First class honours from Hartpury in my Equestrian Sports Coaching degree, won the Tom Searle Award for dedication to coaching and academic excellence, and have a Masters of Research in Equestrian Performance, focusing on rider performance. I believe in creating a balanced rider in order to gain a harmonic and empathetic riding partnership. I am very good at explaining terminology and helping people to understand the confusing 'language' of equestrianism! Clients always comment on how their horse is easier to ride when I have been schooling the horse.
