Karen Joynson
Instructor
Karen Joynson BHSII & UKCC L3 Coach in Dressage, Show Jumping & Eventing. I am also a Franklin Ball Specialist trainer. I have always had a passion for teaching all levels of rider, from beginner to advanced level. I have worked at Barton End for 23 years, I love to see riders progress, with emphasis on making lessons fun & informative & getting the basics right.
I have been around horses for 43 years, riding in all disciplines. I have competed for British Dressage in the England squad, ridden in Show Hunters at the Horse of the Year Show. I love to work with young horses, having many years experience of breeding & training through the levels. I have coached many riders over the years, who have gone on to be elite level riders & trainers themselves. I like to use an easy to understand training method for both horse & rider, to bring out the very best.

Sophie Power
Instructor
She has competed up to Elementary in dressage (Squirrel). Binks and Sophie placed 5th at Regional Finals for the dressage team in 2020, and evented at 90 in 2021. Sophie’s hope is to take him out again but current family commitments have pushed competition goals to the side for now.
Sophie is qualified at Stage 2 to teach and keen to complete my stage 3.
