Successful Riders Coached by Ruth
Ruth’s coaching philosophy is centered on building a strong foundation and a confident partnership between horse and rider. While the journey is a personal one, we are incredibly proud of the riders who have trained with us and gone on to achieve their goals.
From young riders making their debut at local shows to experienced competitors aiming for bigger events, our clients consistently demonstrate significant improvement in their performance and confidence. We believe that every successful ride, no matter the level, is a testament to the dedication of the rider and the quality of the training provided here at Orchid Stables.
Meet Our Riders
The Orchid Stables family is made up of a diverse and talented group of riders. Whether they’re training with us for local Pony Club events, AIRC Riding Club competitions, or preparing for national and international championships, we celebrate every achievement.
We are proud to have helped riders:
- Achieve personal bests in dressage and showjumping.
- Successfully completed their first eventing competition.
- Qualify for and compete in national championships.
- Gain the confidence to move up a level in their chosen discipline.
We welcome riders of all levels and backgrounds to become part of our story and discover what they can achieve with dedicated coaching.
Ruth has coached many riders from grassroots to International level. She has helped source suitable horses for her riders and then cement the partnerships through correct and structured coaching.
Having worked herself in Germany as a working pupil, Ruth experienced first hand how beneficial it is for riders to travel abroad and gain experience. Orchid Stables is excited to greet international riders to come on training packages and experience Irish eventing and showjumping first hand under Ruth’s expert guidance.
