Horse Riding Coach or Instructor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’ve spent the last eight years coaching riders of all levels and have consistently kept safety at the forefront while building technique. In my current role I implemented a progressive training plan that helped riders move from basic control to competitive eligibility within a 12 to 16 week window, using video review and weekly skill checks to track progress. My approach fits well with your needs at [Company Name]. I focus on riding technique instruction, progress monitoring, and safety management, while also prepping horses to suit each rider’s level. I’m comfortable organising events and collaborating with colleagues to ensure clear communication and a steady training rhythm across groups and individuals. I recall working with a rider who began with limited balance on a difficult horse. We created an targeted plan that included groundwork, daily short sessions, and gentle confidence cues. After three months the rider rode independently in a local event, and the horse moved from reserve to a reliable partner in the prep line. The changes came from careful assessment and consistent feedback rather than quick fixes. I’d welcome a chat about how I could contribute at [Company Name] and discuss how my experience with individualized training plans and horse selection could help your program. I’m available for a call or a site visit to talk through how we could work together. Kind regards, [Your Name]
