I’m Amanda Lewer, an Equestrian Coach and Horse Trainer for over 26 years. In that time I’ve carved out my own training methods to help thousands of horse riders to improve their connection, feel and position. As a foundation coach I aim to help horse riders keep their horses sound, fit for purpose and willing participants.

My horse training methods have developed over many years of breaking and training. I never really wanted to be in the spotlight and didn’t have the hunger for blue ribbons or trophies. My addiction to horse sports was and remains cemented in my love of horses. I never really cared if anyone knew who I was or how I trained but here I am running a humble little business. AML was born from a growing number of clients turning to me for help. I never specialised in any particular discipline despite originally competing in eventing. My non-specific love of many horse sports caused me to attract clients from all disciplines. This gave me the opportunity to work with a variety of horse breeds. I’ve lost count now but I’ve roughly calculated to have trained over 250 horses in my life and coached over 16000 riders in the last 8 years. The experience I have gained from this, continues to help my methods evolve in order to help more horses and their riders.

The training I experienced under elite level competitive riders in Eventing and Showjumping gave me a solid understanding of what is required of a high level performance horse and rider. The trainers who I'm forever grateful to are the ones who are not household names, who have no claim to fame or notoriety in the equestrian realm. These trainers are by far some of the best horse men and women I’ve ever known. It is my aim to ensure AML continues to pay it forward, encouraging horse riders to love the horse first and the sport second.
