Local Horse & Owner Support
For riders and owners who feel stuck, nervous, or unsure what to do next.
If you love your horse but things feel confusing, overwhelming, or not quite right, you do not have to work it out alone.
I offer calm, practical 1:1 sessions for horses and humans across the NSW Mid North Coast, helping you understand what is really going on, build clearer communication, and create a safer, more connected partnership.
Whether your horse is showing difficult behaviour, or you have lost confidence yourself, these sessions are designed to support both of you to rebuild trust, confidence, and connection so you can enjoy each other again.

“Time spent with Lisa was invaluable as it gave me new strategies and ideas while reinforcing and reminding me of knowledge that I hadn’t used for too long. Lisa spent time connecting with and assessing my horse and then demonstrated a range of practical skills to build confidence for both of us. Thank you.“
-Tamara
My approach
A session is about helping horse and human understand each other better so the progress you make together continues long after I’ve left.
I look at the whole picture: the horse’s behaviour, the owner’s confidence, the handling patterns, the ridden work where relevant, and the relationship underneath it all.
I focus on:
- pressure and release as a clear language, not a forceful method
- nervous system awareness for both horse and human
- confidence-building through small, achievable steps
- practical groundwork and ridden tools you can repeat at home
- helping you understand the “why” behind your horse’s behaviour
My goal is to help you feel more capable, confident, and clear with your own horse.
Session options
One-off/Initial Session
Best for new clients who want a fresh set of eyes on what is happening with their horse.
This session may include:
- observing your horse and current handling/riding patterns
- identifying where communication is breaking down
- helping you understand your horse’s behaviour
- practical groundwork or ridden exercises
- a clear plan for what to do next
Best for:
- a specific horse problem
- owners feeling stuck or unsure
Ongoing Support Sessions
Best for horse-and-owner combinations who need consistent support over a period of time.
This may suit you if:
- your horse needs foundation work
- you are rebuilding confidence after a bad experience or break
- you want help progressing from groundwork to ridden work
- you need regular guidance and accountability
- you want someone to support both you and your horse through the process
Ongoing sessions allow us to build momentum, track progress, and adjust the plan as your horse and confidence develop.
Horse Training / Schooling Rides
Available where appropriate.
Sometimes it is useful for me to work solely with the horse first to help the horse understand something before coaching the owner through it.
This is always assessed case by case, depending on the horse, the environment, safety, and what will genuinely support the partnership.
I’m Lisa.
I’m Lisa from EquiKinder, based in South West Rocks on the NSW Mid North Coast.
I travel to Kempsey, South West Rocks, Hat Head, Port Macquarie, Nambucca, and surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether I come to you, feel free to ask.
I work with horses and their humans to build safer, clearer, and more confident partnerships.
A lot of the people I work with come to me because something has started to feel hard. Maybe the horse has become overwhelming. Maybe the rider has lost confidence. Maybe the partnership has reached a point where they are not sure how to move forward.
I care deeply about helping both sides of the partnership feel understood.
My work blends practical horsemanship, groundwork, ridden support, emotional awareness, and clear communication so that progress feels safer, more sustainable, and easier to continue at home.
“From the start, Lisa was so kind and never judgemental, making me feel safe to ask all of those “silly questions”. She made both Sally and I feel completely at ease, and her calm, thoughtful approach allowed me to understand horsemanship at a whole new level.” -Freya
What We Can Work On
Sessions may include support with:
- groundwork foundations
- everyday handling like leading, farrier prep, trailer loading etc.
- lunging
- nervous or returning rider confidence
- pre-ride preparation
- emotional regulation for horse and human
- green or reactive horses
- horses returning to work
- ridden coaching
- schooling rides or horse training where appropriate
- understanding behaviour instead of just labelling it
Every session is shaped around the horse and human in front of me.
Ready to feel clearer and more confident with your horse?
If you feel stuck, nervous, unsure, or like you and your horse are not quite on the same page, I’d love to hear from you.
Send me a message with where you are located, a little about your horse, what you are currently struggling with, and what you would love help with.
I’ll let you know honestly whether I think I can help and what the next step could look like.
