Wembley
Founded in 2013 by Bea Simpson, Spirit In Stirrups Limited (company number
8775514) is a West-London based business dedicated to developing excellent
horsemanship and leadership potential in individuals or groups/organisations by
providing unique and exceptional learning opportunities through one-to-one
coaching, mentoring and Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) workshops &
programmes. Bea has since combined her passion for life-long learning and
development and working with horses, making Spirit In Stirrups Limited a unique
coaching & training provider. Bea draws from a wealth of experience, knowledge
and skills gained during careers spanning nearly three decades in various
Leadership & Management roles in the public and private sector as well as in the
equestrian world. Bea's equestrian experience spans over more than 30 years.
Having discovered her passion for all things horses at a very young age, she
took her 'hobby' to the professional level by becoming an apprentice jockey at
one of Europe's oldest and most prestigious racecourses, Berlin-Hoppegarten, in
Germany. There she graduated from Jockey School with distinction and qualified
as a Specialist for Horse Keeping, Breeding & Professional Rider in 1991. To
broaden her skill set further, Bea went on to work for 18 months at Berlin's
Equine Veterinary University as a Veterinary Nurse, gaining invaluable
experience and insights in equine health and welfare which have stood her in
good stead all throughout her career. Bea continues to develop and broaden her
own knowledge and skillset through regularly attending CPD training days. She
previously trained with Kelly Marks (Intelligent Horsemanship) and is a
committed student of Marijke de Jong's Straightness Training Home Study
programme, employing these skills and techniques in her day-to-day work. Since
2013, Spirit In Stirrups Ltd has successfully delivered the ‘HorsePlay’©
workshop programme to a number of London Borough of Brent-based primary schools,
as well as mentoring programmes and team building workshops to organisations
such as Kensington Temple London City Church, Bucks New University and Coca
Cola.
