Welcome to andrewbennie.co.uk
Andrew Bennie
is an international event and dressage rider, coach, and judge, with experience competing at Five Star and Olympic level eventing. He has trained numerous horses and riders through to advanced levels across all disciplines.
Andrew is a British Eventing Accredited Coach, a Fellow of the British Horse Society, a British Dressage List 1 Judge, and an FEI International Eventing Judge.
He is currently based in Stone, Staffordshire, having previously owned and run a training yard near Cirencester in Wiltshire.
As a rider, Andrew is presently competing at Prix St Georges level in dressage.
As a coach, his focus is on developing harmony, confidence, and trust between horse and rider. He works with riders to build strong foundations through thoughtful, progressive training that supports confidence, enjoyment, and lasting success—whether in the competition arena or through the ongoing development of a rewarding partnership.
Andrew believes coaching should be a collaborative, two-way process. He encourages riders to develop feel, awareness, and a thinking rider mindset, learning to understand what their horse is communicating rather than simply following instruction. Sessions emphasise rider feedback and reflection, helping to create happy, confident, and harmonious partnerships capable of many years of enjoyment and success.
