High-quality horses, many of which have gone on to excel in dressage competitions at national and international levels.

At Sheepcote Equestrian, the focus is on providing top-class dressage training for both horse and rider. The training is suitable for riders of all levels, from novices to those aspiring to compete at the Grand Prix level. The tuition is provided by David and Serena Pincus, both highly accomplished and experienced riders in their own right.

David has successfully competed at International Big Tour level and has trained riders to compete at the same level, including World Championships and the Olympic Games. Serena, on the other hand, is a highly experienced competition rider and has won several National Championship titles on horses that she has bred herself. Serena specialises in coaching the British Dressage U21s and is passionate about developing young riders.
