PATSY KENTON Amateur Fun Rider
There are successful riders and professional instuctors, but very rarely there are great Coaches. Ernest Dillion is one such. Not only is he able to teach and bring on the up and coming talent, but he is also a great enabler. He enables you to form a partnership with your horse and to have fun while achieving your goals. He has the generosity to use his talents not only for the super talented, but to encourage the average rider to progress. He coached me from being an older rider who had not jumped for 14 years to competing and coming second at Angus County Show Intermediate Working Hunter. (15 in Class, only 3 clears and we were one). His talented assessment and encouragement gave me the confidence to have fun jumping my horse.

LISA MAYNARD Three/Four Star Event Rider
I have been working with Ernest Dillon for over a year. He has helped me with all my horses from Pre-Novice right through to Three Star. My only regret is that I had not met him sooner in my career. His attention to detail is first class and his ability to achieve the best performance from any horse and rider is exceptional.

NATALIE CARPENTER UK Showjumping Rider
In a relatively short period of time Ernest has really helped me improve my show jumping technique and all round riding style which has been evident in my performance at competitions. Ernest has a great way of explaining himself clearly and with humour ,but the best thing about his teaching technique is that he encourages you to push yourself further than you think possible to get the most out of your horse. I thoroughly look forward to my lessons with Ernest and always come away feeling really pleased with what I’ve accomplished, Ernest you're a very knowledgeable and personable instructor!
