Rhianydd Davies

Chief Instructor

Born in the U.K., Rhianydd took her obsession with horses to the next level and joined the Heritage Riding team in 2015.

As a qualified British Horse Society Intermediate Instructor and achieving a Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Equestrian Science, Rhianydd has worked in the horse industry for more than 16 years. 

Experiences as a coach, rider and groom include:

  • foaling and youngstock
  • breaking in & training young horses
  • riding trackwork with racehorses
  • grooming for international competition riders
  • competing in Dressage, Showjumping and Eventing
  • training riders from beginners through to competition

Rhianydd has always been horse mad despite not coming from a "horsey" family. From the age of 13, she leased a pony from the local riding school and has been horse obsessed ever since.

Students often see Rhianydd living her passion of competing in Eventing, partnered with her loveable horse Peppy, of course!

What Our Customers Say...

I started riding at Heritage as an adult. I was very nervous as I had only been on a horse a handful of times. The Instructors made me feel confident and at ease due to their knowledge and care for their clients. They explain everything so it is easy to understand and are happy to answer all the questions I like to ask.......They make you feel like you are part of the family and it is my happy place....

I started riding at Heritage when I was 6 when I got 10 lessons for my birthday. 3 years later and I still love it just as much. When I started I couldn't trot and steer the horse at the same time, now I do dressage, jumping and cross country. This year I have started leasing Tribby and I love him so much.
