Riding Instructor Cover Letter Template

Dear Hiring Manager, I’m a riding instructor with solid experience shaping riders from beginners to competing juniors. In my last role I helped a small stable grow rider retention by 20 percent over 12 months while maintaining safety standards. I’m keen to bring a practical, no-nonsense approach to [Company Name] and help your riders progress with confidence. I focus on fundamentals, safety checks, and clear communication with students and families. I’m comfortable supervising practice sessions, coordinating with officials, and organising entry into events. I’ve built coaching programs, supported staff training, and kept records of progress to inform planning. I’m interested in how your team approaches athlete development and youth engagement. One memorable moment involved a shy 12 year old who was hesitant to ride in groups. I set up short, structured sessions and introduced steady goal milestones. Over a term she gained balance, introduced correct seat position, and started riding confidently with peers. The team saw her attendance improve and she began competing at a local event with signage and support from the coaching staff. I’d welcome a chat about how I can contribute to [Company Name]. I’m available for a discussion next week and happy to provide references from [Previous Company] on request. Kind regards, [Your Name]
