Meet your riding instructor

Hi, my name is Eva Marunova and I am a freelance riding instructor based in Bedfordshire. Nothing brings me more professional satisfaction than seeing riders improve their skills, grow in confidence and develop lasting partnerships with their horses.

Take your riding skills to the next level under guidance from an experienced and supportive riding instructor

I have helped hundreds of riders achieve their goals with a holistic approach to horse and riding training. It is not just about riding - we explore how horses learn, how we can make our aids easy to understand and how to create a safe environment where both you and your horse can thrive.

My draw on my knowledge of biomechanics and equiation science which puts the horse's wellbeing, physical and mental, at the centre of everythings I do.

The benefits of working with a qualified, professional  riding instructor

✓ I have extensive knowledge of training of horses and riders developed through hands on experience in the equestrian industry and I am always happy to share it with my clients.

✓ No boring exercises ridden over and over again. Your lessons will be engaging and progressive. I will always give your tips and exercise you can work on until your next lesson.

✓ As as a professional equestrian coach, I have invested lots of time into developing my coaching skills.  And I continue to invest into my education so that I can bring fresh ideas into your training.

✓ I am fully insured and trained in first aid and safeguarding for your piece of mind.
"I learn something in every session and love the way each lesson feels completely tailored to me and my horses, rather than just going through an exercise for the sake of doing it. Very highly recommend!"

I strive to create a supportive and safe learning environment where riders are not afraid to make mistakes and ask questions. I encourage my riders to become co-designers of their sessions, developing their skills and competence. I also strongly believe that great coaching is about collaborative mindset, open mind and curiosity. So I learn from you and your horse a much as you learn from me

I am passionate about horses and everything I do is with their well-being at heart. I am always striving to learn more and to help horses and their riders because deep down I am still that little girl who has loved horses ever since she could remember.
