Born in New Zealand and raised on the family farm, Edie has been breeding and training horses since childhood; she extensively rode for New Zealand (1988-99) and has frequently coached International teams to success. She continues to train many International riders and plays a key role in developing others to International level.  

Edie's riding and horsemanship skills have developed through first hand experience in a vast range of equine disciplines and sports across the world. The thousands of horses Edie has started, trained and worked with at home and on her travels have led her to develop her unique style of Zonal Training for horse and rider.  

Edie's exceptional ability to immediately recognise the strengths and weaknesses in a horse and rider combination allow her to pinpoint how each individual relationship can be made to gel. Using the very basics of Zonal Training, Edie can evaluate, correct and encourage horse and rider partnerships to work more harmoniously together.
