Appointments & Fees

Sandra offers private coaching and behavioural consultations throughout Buckinghamshire and the surrounding counties, covering approximately 20 miles from her home base (HP27 0QG). Keeping travel within this area allows her to help as many horses and owners as possible.

If you are located just outside this area, please do get in touch, as it may still be possible to arrange an appointment. Alternatively, a telephone or video consultation can often provide an excellent solution.

In-Person Appointments

Weekdays

  • From £105 for the first hour.
  • Additional time is charged at £5 per five minutes.

Saturdays

  • Fees are the same as weekdays.
  • A higher booking deposit applies.

A non-refundable, non-transferable deposit is required to secure your appointment:

  • Weekdays: £25
  • Saturdays: £50

Your first visit typically lasts between 1 and 1½ hours, allowing plenty of time to discuss your goals, assess your horse, and begin working together. Follow-up appointments are usually around one hour but are always tailored to your horse’s individual needs, finishing at an appropriate point for both horse and owner.

Telephone & Video Consultations

Remote consultations are ideal for discussing behaviour, management, training plans or ongoing support.

  • £20 for the first 15 minutes.
  • £1 per additional minute thereafter.

Intelligent Horsemanship Video Assessments

Video assessments for Intelligent Horsemanship Awards are available.

  • £20 for the first 15 minutes
  • Resubmissions: £5 per exercise, per video.
  • Award rosettes can be posted via Royal Mail Tracked 48 for £7.50

Before Your Appointment

Before your first session, you will receive a New Client Information Form by email. This helps Sandra understand both you and your horse before she arrives, ensuring your appointment is focused on the areas that matter most to you.

Written support notes are provided following your initial appointment and, where appropriate, after follow-up sessions to help you continue progressing between visits.

Tailored Mentoring

For those seeking more in-depth support, Sandra offers personalised mentoring designed to develop a deeper understanding of both horse and handler.

“Together we explore a way of being with horses that encourages deeper listening—to your horse, to yourself, and to the quiet conversation that exists between you.”

Mentoring programmes are arranged individually and start from £195

If this feels like the right approach for you, Sandra would be delighted to hear from you. Please email your enquiry and include your mobile number.

“Good morning Sandra, what an absolutely fascinating talk you gave last evening. It will certainly go down as a highlight of this year’s programme. Thank you for visiting our WI. I think we enjoyed it more than the subject of car maintenance!“
