Alison Calvert, Coaching representative

Alison Calvert

Coaching representative

Alison has been involved in British Dressage as a competitor for 23 years and ridden up to Inter 1. I’ve been coaching from home in Oswaldtwistle and freelance for 12 years, I love learning the intricacies of the biomechanics of the horse, I’m a “why” person so I like to learn all the details, that’s why dressage is so fascinating.  I had a career in Greater Manchester Police prior to becoming a coach and something not many people know about me is whilst on maternity leave I qualified as landscape gardener.  I have 2 children, Jonathan and Charlotte who also compete.
