Tegwyn grew up in the UK, riding horses for clients from a young age which transitioned into coaching others at her property with her horses. She specialized in eventing, showjumping and hunting, as well as training horses for her clients. In 2007, Teg and her family emigrated to Canada and set up on a lovely farm in Black Creek, British Columbia. Settling into life in Canada, she found herself drawn to therapeutic riding and became a passionate advocate for the Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society (CVTRS). In 2008, Teg achieved her CTRSI certification and helped bring CVTRS to accreditation and into the CanTRA family. In 2014 became a CanTRA Coach. Following her life long interest and novice involvement in rider biomechanics, she began her formal studies with Colleen Kelley in 2012. Just three years later Teg won the prestigious International Biomechanics Coach of the Year award in Kentucky, USA. As the Head Instructor at The Comox Valley Therapeutic Riding Society, Teg continues to coach privately around Northern Vancouver Island, specializing in Rider Biomechanics and Rider Fundamentals. “It is the grassroots teaching that matters. Biomechanics make you aware of the body and how it can affect the horse, which is essential to therapeutic riding”.
