Coaching for the modern equestrian athlete.
Ledyard Equestrian offers instruction & training for hunter, jumper and equitation riders and their horses. My style is positive & encouraging, and my experience spans nearly three decades.
I offer "OnForm" video lessons, freelance sessions in and around Bucks County, PA and
uplifting clinics from the judge's perspective all over the United States.
~Ledyard Equestrian is proudly partnered with Forestier Sellier~
The Ledyard Equestrian Style & Approach
For nearly thirty years I have made my living in the horse business as a judge, trainer, competitor, coach and now as an author. I have been blessed to work with so many wonderful students and horses, many of whom have ridden with me for years. Safety and details are at the forefront of my disciplined approach. I do my very best to coach in such a way that lifts a person up, approaching the horse and rider as a pair of athletes, giving them the respect they deserve.
Feel good about reaching out to Ledyard Equestrian. I promise I will do everything I can to
keep you safe, having fun and helping you and your horse become your absolute best.Family photo credit Adrienne Morella Photography
Shane Ledyard Clinics
Traditional Clinic
In the traditional style clinic I evaluate you and your horse and teach you from my perspective as a coach and trainer. With this clinic, I mix in a little bit of the judge's perspective as well.
I will give you ways to help your improve your riding and your "system" that will build your confidence. I specialize in helping riders that are anxious when they compete and I will give you proven techniques that will enable you to maximize your joy at competitions.
Judge's Perspective Clinic
In this clinic, I offer you a horse show format on the flat and/or over fences and I give you a sense of what your score would be as if you were competing. You will learn how to increase your score and gain an edge over the competition.
In addition, I have been a hunt seat clinician for IEA and IHSA teams for two decades. I will always offer riders an up-to-date approach that keeps them current and feeling prepared to compete at their very best.
The judge's perspective clinic is crowd-inclusive, and the trainers and parents have the option to get in on the discussion. This is a lot of fun!
I have helped thousands of riders in my clinics and teaching over the years & from many different parts of the country. I hope to work with you soon!
