Andrea Marsden
Dressage Coach
About me
I am a classically trained dressage rider and coach and have ridden and competed my own horses successfully to Prix. St. Georges (Level 7). I have been fortunate enough to have trained and ridden with many of the top UK dressage riders and trainers such as Stephen Wallace and Andrew Day and trained for a number of years by Florian Bacher, of the Spanish Riding School in Vienna and Austrian Olympic team rider.
I enjoy working with riders of all ages and abilities to help them develop a more harmonious relationship with their horse on the flat. My philosophy is that dressage is a logical system that should promote a happy and more supple horse. Developing the horse’s natural athletic ability and balance through an empathetic training system is equally relevant to all equine disciplines and I enjoy seeing the horses develop and riders realise their goals.
Client Reviews
Andrea is a wonderful coach - she is patient and kind and listens to the horse as well as the rider. She was absolutely the best thing to happen for me and my very tricky mare and taught us both so much. My riding changed completely (very much for the better!) and my horse was fitter and happier for it. Thank you so much Andrea for all your help and kindness!
FREDA JACKSON
Andrea is absolutely incredible. Explains everything in a completely understandable way and has improved both my riding and my horse phenomenally. Both horses are feeling soft and supple and loving their work.

Andrea introduced me to the world of dressage & I am forever grateful for all she has taught me! super patient, with a wealth of knowledge, Andrea can help any horse & rider combination from any discipline with anything from the pure basics to the more advanced movements.
GINA RICKARD
Andrea is a quiet and sympathetic rider with years of knowledge and experience. She is particularly good at explaining everything and makes lessons fun and interesting. At the end of each session, she gives you home work which helps you focus whilst schooling alone. She has been a tremendous help to me with both my advanced mare and my youngster. I would definitely recommend her.
JANICE SEXTON
‘Andrea is an incredible coach! She works with you and your horse to produce amazing results. Andrea does not rush and will happily ride your horse to understand him even more. Andrea also coaches my 6 year old daughter where she had her first canter ever and loves how much fun Andrea makes it for her.’
TYLER AUKUSITINO
Andrea has been coaching me over the last few months, helping my confidence and connection with my horse. Andrea is kind and thinks of both horse and rider, with each lesson learning something new and adapting her teaching to suit the horse and rider needs 😀  Andrea has recently supported me in my first dressage outing and her experience and direction settled my nerves and helped me focus for the day. Highly recommend
