Lydia occasionally has spaces for horses on schooling and competition livery at her own yard — bringing horses on at home, or campaigning them through the season. Numbers are kept small.
From the owners who have sent horses to Lydia for schooling, producing and campaigning.
We are absolutely delighted with the incredible results Lydia Heywood managed to achieve in just 6 weeks working with our pony Diamond. At the start of the process Lydia was keen to understand what we wanted to achieve and from there put a structured plan in action.
I can honestly say I was apprehensive about sending Diamond away but Lydia was kind enough to send regular updates & videos to explain the process to my daughter in our group chat. She put my mind at ease and would always make herself available to answer and made us very welcome when we would visit!
Lydia very quickly adapted the program based on Diamond's unique personality and how she reacted in certain situations. Given Lydia's incredible knowledge and riding ability she knew exactly how to get the best results from Diamond whilst keeping her happy and focused. Lydia remained 100% honest with us throughout, including telling us when a session hadn't gone to plan and what the focus would be the next session.
The results have been incredible and have definitely surpassed my expectations. Lydia is quite frankly amazing, her absolute passion and dedication to producing outstanding results is inspirational and we are honestly privileged Lydia came on board with us to get us to a point we didn't think was possible. We are beyond grateful to you and for your continued mentoring — you're one in a million and couldn't recommend you highly enough.
When I met Lydia at Deer Park Cross Country Course and mentioned the possibility of riding Fable, I never imagined that in such a short period of time a young horse could progress so well. Lydia is an extremely talented rider who has no fear.
Fable started out with some attitude that needed to be channeled in the right direction. Lydia's work plan for him was brilliant, constantly keeping him busy without causing him to become flat or uninterested.
Lydia understood the brief, which was to produce Fable and have him ready for Freya to ride when she returned from the European Eventing Championships. Thank you for always keeping us informed, entering him into competitions, staying positive and looking after his needs perfectly. We have a very happy horse that's now ready to start his eventing career. Thanks a million.
Tell us a little about the horse and what you have in mind. We will come back with current availability and pricing.
