Michelle Baker is a freelance dressage trainer and instructor based at Centennial Parklands Equestrian Centre.

She is available for half hour or hourly lessons at the Equestrian Centre or one and two day clinics in the Sydney area by arrangement.

Michelle is a very knowledgeable teacher, having been fortunate to train with some of the top international trainers and judges. She has also been a pupil of the Alexander Technique for several years.

The combination of classical Dressage Training and body awareness skills has given her a sharp eye for detail. She is an instructor who can really tell you 'how to do it' and produces good riders that are effective and knowledgeable without the use of gadgets.

Michelle has trained and competed to Advanced level. Up until Jan '03 she had been a regular competitor in affiliated dressage with her mare Annouska. Sadly, she lost Anna due to a freak accident. A tremendous shock at the time, they were having much success together and Anna had become a great demonstration horse, often taking part in Lecture/Demos with International Trainers.


With over 20 years of riding, training and teaching behind her, experienced and novice riders really feel the difference in their horses from their training sessions. Many of her clients have found themselves progressing further than they had thought possible, and those that compete, have improved their marks.

Since Dec '05 Debbie has had access to a Horse Riding Simulator in Chobham. Her clients have found this extremely useful for developing their position and body awareness. It is a valuable training aid, allowing the rider to work and improve on any problems they have without worrying about their horse.

Debbie is teaching regularly at Lomond Classical Training Centre, which opened in March '09. This is enabling her to work with non horse owning clients, as well as horse owners who will benefit from riding schoolmaster horses.

She will care as much about your horse as you do and help you achieve a harmonious partnership. Whether you want to do serious competition, just enjoy riding a well balanced horse or need remedial help, Debbie will help you to reach your goal.
