E.G.T Equestrian services
Welcome to E.G.T Equestrian, run by Emma Throop; a freelance instructor, rider and groom based in South Leicestershire. I offer tailored equestrian services and lessons specialising in groundwork, liberty and problem solving. Flexible freelance services adapt to the unique needs of clients, supporting from private owners to top level event yards. Please click below to find out more about how i can help you and your horse:
“I have not only seen Emma work with her own horses, both ridden and on the ground, but have also had groundwork lessons with my mare. Emma is calm, understanding, and patient. She is an established rider in all disciplines and rides with softness, and with empathy for the horse. The groundwork is delivered in a structured manner with clear outcomes. Emma understands the nuances that each horse and rider is unique and I would highly recommend her work”
“I can’t recommend Emma highly enough. Her attention to detail, her loyalty and her care for the horses is second to none. I trust her implicitly with my 18hh Grand Prix trained dressage horse and my eventer, both so different in personalities, but Emma just gets the very best of both of them. Clean, tidy, loyal and always prompt, Emma offers a five star service.”

45 mins - 1 hour Private Groundwork/Liberty lesson with your own horse at your yard. These lessons are suitable for complete beginners wanting to focus on improving basic groundwork and manners, up to more advanced partnerships looking to progress an existing foundation and fine tune. We will work at your level starting on the rope working through communication techniques, building up towards liberty skills off the rope or various tricks such as the bow or Spanish walk. These sessions are a great way to add variety to you and your horses training, whether they are fit competition horses, youngsters preparing to be started or semi-retired needing some gentle enrichment. Groundwork is beneficial across all disciplines.
