My name is Maxine Kemp, I'm a classical riding trainer based in Suffolk and Essex. My approach to training centres around building the essential partnership between horse and rider via an understanding of the biomechanics of both and how we might bring them together in balance and harmony. In addition to traditional dressage training, I specialize in straightness training, body awareness work for horse and rider, in-hand work and rehabilitation.  I am also an accredited Life Coach and can work with you on confidence building, transcending fear, goal setting  and partnership building.

The past 40 years of my life have been spent learning from many wonderful and knowledgeable trainers both on and off the horse, developing my own riding and training skills together with a unique approach and ability to impart this knowledge to others.  

A particular passion of mine is the retraining of Thoroughbreds off the track. I gained a great deal of experience in this area in the two successful years  I spent in Kenya training riders from novice to advanced level and focusing on the rehabilitation and retraining of ex race horses for eventing and dressage. It is my continued aim to pass on the knowledge I have gained over the years to all open minded riders for good of the horse.
