Kerri has been an incredible horse riding coach and an even more incredible person in my life. She is extremely smart and truly knows her stuff when it comes to riding and horsemanship
. Through her coaching, she has taught me so much—not just about riding, but about believing in myself. She has helped me develop balance, rhythm, timing, stride control, and confidence in the saddle, and she always explains things clearly in a way that helps me understand and improve.
What makes Kerri truly special is that she’s not only my coach, but also my friend. She genuinely cares about me and my progress, both in riding and as a person. She has given me so many amazing opportunities that have helped me grow, gain experience, and step outside my comfort zone. Having someone who believes in me the way she does has made a huge difference in my confidence.
I look up to Kerri so much. Her knowledge, support, encouragement, and trust in me push me to work harder and aim higher. I’m extremely grateful to have her as my coach and my friend, and I wouldn’t be the rider I am today without her.

After more than 40 years away from riding, I never imagined I would find my way back to a sport I once loved so deeply. Returning felt intimidating, and I carried a lot of insecurity and self-doubt with me. From the very beginning, Kerri-Ellen Chalmers made that journey not only possible, but genuinely enjoyable.
Kerri-Ellen guided me with patience, understanding, and encouragement, always meeting me where I was—both physically and mentally. She never rushed the process and helped me rebuild my confidence step by step, reminding me that progress doesn’t have an age limit. Her calm presence, knowledge, and belief in me made all the difference.
Because of Kerri-Ellen’s support and coaching, I continue to love this sport even now that I’m well into my sixties. Riding has once again become something I look forward to, and I’m grateful to have found a coach who truly understands the fears and triumphs that come with returning to the saddle later in life.

I am loving my lessons with Kerri-Ellen Chalmers! Two a week (could do more). Kerri explains everything in detail which I love. She has a fantastic eye for detail with position and picks up on the smallest idiosyncrasies in your body position, helping me to make the changes I need to not only help me but also my horse(s). It’s good to have someone on the ground helping me develop, but it’s fantastic to have Kerri who has the understanding and patience to work through every detail. I’m looking forward to everything this union brings and if you aren’t taking lessons with her, you need to. I can honestly recommend her as a super coach!!!
