Glennis  Barrey             

Glennis has coached and trained riders of all ages and riders from all disciplines.  Her experience and knowledge along with her determination and passion for her students and their horses to learn,  is second to none.  Through her years of coaching she has developed the ability to teach riders to ride and train their own horses within their capabilities for a successful and positive outcome.  Glennis's greatest enjoyment and satisfaction is to see her students and their horses working as "one".  One often hear Glennis saying

 "You don't get there by being lucky, you get there by working hard!". 

Below are a list of students with their thoughts on Glennis and her as a coach.

Sally Trevenen - WA

Sally has been training with Glennis for the last 4 years.  She has 2 horses training and competing at Elementary to Medium and PSG/Inter I.This is what Sally had to say about Glennis:

"Glennis has been a tremendous inspiration to me, especially with my FEI horse - without Glennis's correct training I would not have been able to achieve the standard to which Jordon has now reached and will reach in the future.  Glennis has always made herself available by phone or email to discuss any questions I might have in regard to my training which I find an added advantage".

Lesley Smit - WA

Lesley owns, trains and shows her medium horse "Willowtree Serendipity".  She has been training with Glennis for the last 2.5 years and this is what she had to say about Glennis.

"Glennis is very clear and direct in the manner to which she wants the rider and horse to perform.  She sets very realistic goals of both the horse and rider.  She has an incredible range of exercises to help you achieve a correct understanding and feel of the movement and way of going".

Karen Spencer - QLD

Karen is a show and dressage rider in Qld and she has successfully shown Arabian Warmbloods in the show ring and in dressage competitions.  This is what she had to say about Glennis:

Denise Rogan - NSW

 Denise has trained with Glennis since she was 16 years old (that is over 15 years ago).  She has trained several horse up to FEI level including her Grand Prix horse "APH Romarn". Denise has trained with many international coaches but she has found Glennis's training philosophy suitable to her way of training.  This is what she had to say about Glennis.

"Glennis has a soft yet completely disciplined approach to her training style that I believe encompasses everything good about dressage. Whether it be a unique exercise that she asks you to ride, whether it be her willingness to discuss difficult concepts, whether it be her expectation to not be daunted and just give it a go or whether it be her expertise as a successful and competitive Grand Prix rider herself - she brings it all to the table.... everytime..... every lesson - Thanks Glennis"

"As the organiser of her Victoria clinics, I see a constantly evolving Glennis in regards to her teaching methods. She seems to have a never-ending list of tools and exercises to deal with every movement, problem or evasion. Regardless of the students level of ability, as long as she is faced with the right 'open' attitude to learning, a satisfying result is achieved every time. It's great to witness her geniuine enthusiasm when the hard work pays off!" - Paul
