I have only been riding for just under 4 years and I found out about Sharon after having a few unsuccessful lessons with other instructors, unfortunately they did not seem to grasp what my aims/goals were. From my first lesson with Sharon it was a huge success, she instantly understood what my problems were and how to resolve them and she has turned around my riding style. I have gone from strength to strength and that is from Sharon’s training style/plan and hard work in getting me to understand things more clearly (we now have plenty of ‘light bulb’ moments). Sharon has had a few challenges with me along the way as I suffered injuries from a car accident in Oct 2010 and when I finally got back to riding in 2011, she has really worked on areas to help me overcome my injuries and getting back to basics helped a great deal. I am now a much more confident rider and have achieved so much more since having lessons with Sharon and there is still plenty more to achieve in 2012. I really couldn’t ask for a better instructor she is an absolute star, always available on the end of the phone/email to answer your questions/concerns and has become a good friend. I am very proud to be a part of ‘Team Kilminster’.

I would like to say what a fabulous, inspiring trainer Sharon is. When i first went to her 18 months ago i was an empty shell after losing all my confidence from 3 horrible accidents.
After one assessment i was grinning like a cheshire cat and when i purchased my current horse - Sisko - Sharon helped to iron out a few problems we were having.
She has helped me overcome most of my fears (jumping not started yet) and with her help i've turned my horse from a "Giraffe" into a novice level Dressage Horse - not an easy task i can tell you. I am honoured and privileged to be a Team Kilminster Rider and without Sharons help i wouldn't have come this far.
She has become one of my closest and dearest friends and is an inspiration to all of us and i can't praise her highly enough.
Just a quick thank you for all your help with my new horse Charlie - a green, just backed, gawky, geeky looking 5 year old who didn't even know how to walk up or down a hill!
Although he has an amazing temperment he was a little like an overgrown puppy but with Sharon's patience and expert help he is now transforming into a well mannered, confident riding horse aswell as maturing into the most handsome chap! I cannot thank Sharon enough - she is an excellent horsewoman, superb business woman, a genuinely lovely person and now a great friend - I am so pleased Charlie and I joined Team K.

Such a sad day for Sharon today after the sudden loss of her beloved Pepsy. Recently re-united only to be so cruelly separated again. Such a brave lady.
R.I.P 'Mr P' - run free in Rainbow Bridge with King Eric until you can all be together again. xx

My heart goes out to this very kind, caring lady who's just lost the greatest, kindest horse and my favourite Gentle Giant.

I only met Sharon a short while ago but i soon discovered that she's probably the most genuine, kindhearted, nicest & honest instructor i've ever had. She has a fab horse in "Eric" and he's absolutely amazing to ride. xx

I started having lessons with Sharon about a year ago. I can honestly say that I found her at exactly the right time. I had been involved in an accident with my horse and had completely lost my way, ending up a nervous rider with a horse with issues! With Sharon\'s clear instruction, patience, and gentle persuasson! And the support of many horsey friends we are back on track, Thank You! Ali and Smiley

I started having lessons with Sharon about 6 months ago. I would highly recommend Sharon - in fact the majority of people at my yard now have lessons with her too! She gets the best out of me and my horse and inspires my confidence massively; Im very glad I found her!
