About us
Why are we called Divine Horse Training?
We didn’t want to be just ‘Joe Bloggs Horse Training’ as that doesn’t describe what we are about!
We wanted a name that was a little bit more out of the ordinary (a bit like us) and also that instilled a feeling of what we want to achieve for our customers…. so basically we named it after one of our horses, “Divine“!
Why choose us?
Our vision is to help every horse owner to have the very best relationship with their horse that they possibly can, by helping people understand how to have a conversation with their horse when they went to teach their horse something new:
So, what makes us different?
Not only will we help you resolve your issue and we will also teach you the philosophy behind the solution of how to prevent problem arising in the future!
We know we are doing ourselves out of a job, but we reckon there are a lot of people out there we can still teach! And we are always on hand if you need a little help at any point in the future.

Experienced and Professional
Together, we have over 80 years of combined experience across a wide range of disciplines including driving, eventing, polo, dressage, school horses, competition and sport horses.
We also give advice on tack and bitting, as many behavioural issues stem from these areas.
Chon has worked in a corporate setting for most of her career and is a qualified coach.
Both of us take an organised and professional approach to our work.
Our vision
Our vision is for horse owners to understand how their horse learns and for you to have the skills to help you solve problems when you reach a plateau in your knowledge.
Who wouldn’t want to provide physical, mental and emotional stimulation for their horse?
Our philosophy works whether you are a full-on competition rider or a leisure rider or owner, what we teach provides fitness, variety and mental stimulation to any horse’s training. It’s useful for older horses too to as by continuing to keep horses stimulated and fit into old age, you can help prevent again some forms of Cushings.

Jason
With over 15 years of experience working in the equestrian industry, Jason is very focused on seeing things from the horse’s point of view, which enable him to teach the horse both gently and effectively and in a short space of time. He says the key to teaching horses is to view them like young children and teach things little and often.
Jason excels at coaching youngsters, as well as competition riders and applies successful sports psychology for riders to enable to take their partnership with their horse up several levels to start to achieve their full potential.
Jason is constantly looking to improve the horse’s wellbeing and is always delighted to share his knowledge with both new and established horse owners, as his view is that we never stop learning. His ability to successfully mentor people combined with a deep understanding of horse behaviour makes him a trusted teacher for both novice and experienced riders.
Outside of horses, Jason has a step back from taking part in competitive motorsport but still enjoys watching it plus tinkering with ‘mechanical things’.
Chon
Chon is has been around the family horses since the age of four… which makes it a very long time!
She has always enjoyed hacking out with her horses but has also competed in dressage and more recently in polo. She is a qualified voluntary polo coaching assistant as well as being a qualified coach in her professional career.
Her riding philosophy is “to get out of the horse’s way and to only ask for a transition when it’s needed.”
Chon herded horses from winter to summer pastures in 2001 in the continental divide. Watching the horses interact as a large herd gave her an even deeper insight into horse behaviour and how horses learn.
Her first polo pony is now nearing 37 and although her mare has a little arthritis, she still looks at least twenty years younger!
