Meet Our Team!

Verity Perry

Verity Perry is a fully qualified BHS Intermediate Instructor, UKCC Level 3 coach, Spillers Level 1 feed nutritionist with a Higher National Diploma at distinction level in Equine Studies. Starting out in British Eventing and British Show Jumping, Verity was given the dressage bug after discovering dressage to music back in 2003. After breeding her own Inter 1 horse, Armani, back in 2002, Verity switched disciplines after the little mare showed such talent for the sport, winning at every level and attending the British Dressage National Championships at every level from Elementary to Prix St Georges. Verity has trained several horses above BD Medium level, including the stallion, Sandro Sun, who she trained from backing. Verity holds 4 National dressage titles – with BD and BRC. Three were with Armani and one with the 18.1hh Hanoverian Rubinho. Verity has represented England twice, after being selected to compete in the BD Home International on two separate occasions.

Verity’s passion for dressage to music has lead her down the road of Quadrille – not as a competitor, but as Coach to the Cornwall Trec Quadrille Team. Formed for the club by Verity and good friend Jane Fisher, Verity donates her time and the use of the indoor arena at Rosevidney free of charge – so that the riders who would never have the chance to compete in such a sport can achieve more than they ever dreamed. The Quadrille Team started in 2012, with five out of six attempts qualifying them for the finals, riding at London’s International Horse Show Olympia and the Bury Farm Championships. In 2018 Rosevidney’s riding school cob Lightning was part of the winning team.

Verity is a sympathetic trainer, with a good eye and a patient nature. She is proud to say that she has managed to aid nervous riders, who would cry rather than enter their horses stable and have progressed to riding freely, and even take part in BD and BRC Team competitions. Others, who never thought it possible, have gone on to compete in BE.

Verity has a natural humble nature and believes that every horse has a value – and with good training and patience, even the most average horse can achieve great things, even with conformational issues or difficult personalities. Consistency, alongside quality training from an experienced coach can work wonders. Verity is available for training on site at Rosevidney, as well as at other venues. Lessons are available on Rosevidney’s own riding school horses. See Price list for prices.
