Sam Jamieson EET (Level Two)

Sam Jamieson has been involved with horses since she was 4 years old and although currently in her 30's her passion for horses continues. She has experience of many different types and breeds of horses of all ages from foals, stallions, riding school horses, happy hackers and competition horses, has competed BSJA, ridden horses trained to high school level and worked at a stud, riding schools, hunting, dealing, dressage and eventing yards to name but a few.

Sam is now based near Holbeach, South Lincolnshire which is on the borders of Lincolnshire, Cambridgeshire and Norfolk with her Husband Ash and daughter Emily, running Meadowbrook Stables, a friendly yard with excellent facilities offering livery, schooling and tuition for both adults and children being especially sympathetic to riders who have lost their confidence due to experiencing this herself.

There are various horses/ponies available for lessons or you are more than welcome to bring your own (there is ample parking for trailers and lorries). All the horses are trained in-hand, which is of great benefit to teach you correct feel of lateral work as a rider and lunge lessons are extremely popular. Lessons and courses are available to learn in hand yourself as well as long lining, lungeing, other groundwork, flatwork, jumping, clicker training also including under saddle and stable management.

Sam is qualified with the British Horse Society as a BHSAI/Intermediate Stable Manager and is a Level Two Enlightened Equitation Teacher and an Agent for the Fhoenix saddle.

Anna Viberg EET (Level Two)

Anna was Heather’s working student winter and spring 05-06. Totally mad about horses since she was a small child, she started to take riding lessons aged 9 in her native Sweden, and for many years rode every horse and pony she could find in her local area, giving her much valuable experience. She worked as head girl for a period at a thoroughbred stud and dressage yard, before moving to Manchester, England, in 1991 to start university. She consequently had a break from riding regularly, but the passion for horses never left her. She kept in touch by doing lots of reading, discovered classical dressage, and then came across Heather’s articles and teachings in the mid-1990s. She threw herself back into riding again in 1999, bought her Welsh Sec D Merlin, who she started to train using classical principles backed up with clicker training, and had her first lesson with Heather in 2002.

She has a special interest in teaching the correct seat, in clicker training and long-reining, and has, apart from with Heather, trained with Becky Holden (clicker training, in hand work) and Jenny Franklin (long reining).

She firmly believes correct basics are vital, and trains using positive reinforcement as her main tool, which works both for horses and pupils! Anna is based in Stockport, Cheshire and teaches on a freelance basis. She can be contacted on the Forum under the username “Anna”, or on mobile: 07980 379 363 or e-mail: anna.viberg@hotmail.co.uk. She is also a sales agent for the Enlightened Equitation Fhoenix saddles.
