Practitioners

Sara Lejman – Coach

Sara grew up in Poland with a deep-rooted love for horses, particularly dressage — the discipline that has always captured her heart. While she also explored show jumping and enjoyed the thrill of competition, it was her curiosity and drive to understand riding on a deeper level that led her to become a certified riding instructor. What began as a side interest gradually evolved into a true calling.

Now based in Australia, Sara is passionate about introducing young riders to the equestrian world and helping them develop not just skills, but a lasting love for the sport. She believes riding is as much about mindset and personal growth as it is about technique, and she weaves these values into her daily training.

With a strong interest in biomechanics, Sara focuses on helping riders improve their strength, flexibility, and mobility — all essential foundations for effective, balanced riding. Outside of the arena, she enjoys dancing and pilates, both of which complement her approach to movement and body awareness in the saddle.

Andrea Dunsby – Coach

Andrea is a truly global equestrian, with a background as diverse as her riding experience. Born in Egypt to Dutch and British parents, she has lived in Egypt, the Netherlands, Qatar, the UAE, the UK, China, and now calls Australia home. No matter where life has taken her, one passion has remained constant: horses.

Her journey has taken her from working in large competition stables in Beijing to riding in the backyards of rural Australia, giving her a rich and varied perspective on horsemanship across cultures. These experiences have deepened her appreciation for the universal bond between horse and rider.

Currently, Andrea is retraining her off-the-track Thoroughbred, Henry, as a show jumper while also competing in endurance riding — two contrasting disciplines that continually challenge and inspire her. Beyond the saddle, Andrea has a love of language learning. She is fluent in Dutch and currently studying Mandarin Chinese, having earned an HSK Level 2 certification.

Andrea’s approach to horse training is rooted in the belief that “by going slow, we go fast.”
