About Markham Dressage
At College Farm Equestrian Centre
— Sharon Ralls Lemon.
The essential joy of being with horses is that it brings us in contact with the rare elements of grace, beauty, spirit and freedom.
— Sharon Ralls Lemon.
I have been running College Farm for over 20 years, it is a friendly, family run business and we pride ourselves in giving excellent service and top quality training.
I have a Master’s degree in Teaching and Learning, a PGCE; I am also sports teacher/coach and taught in a local secondary school for 8 years.
I have been fortunate enough to return to working full time within the equestrian industry and although I have my BHSI, I specialise in dressage, I am a British Dressage Trainer and Judge, I have attained the British Dressage UKCC Level 3 Coaching Qualification and I am also a British Event Trainer.
Working for the British Horse Society, British Eventing and predominantly British Dressage, takes up most of my working week and takes me all over England, Scotland and Ireland.
I am also fortunate to ride the many lovely horses I have in for schooling for clients, Amelia and Emma help me with this, but there’s never a dull moment and the yard is always busy and full of life.
