Hi, I’m Wiola—a freelance coach dedicated to helping horse lovers like you create willing, enjoyable partnerships with their horses, whether your goals involve sport, pleasure, or simply a deeper connection.
​
Aspire Equestrian Riding Academy (AERA), established in January 2010, is a membership-based coaching programme designed for riders who care deeply about their horse’s experience and want to learn in a way that honours both horse and human.
​
Here, it’s not about rushing to a destination—it’s about discovering the joy in the process. You’ll explore how your horse thinks, feels, and moves, and gain the skills to communicate clearly, calmly, and with purpose.
​
Through one-to-one coaching, hands-on learning, and inspiring in-person events, AERA is a place where you can grow your confidence, refine your feel, and build a relationship with your horse based on trust, empathy, and understanding.
​
Whether you're just starting out or refining your horsemanship, you're welcome here.
Then there’s Horsemanship Nexus Projects—AERA’s educational outreach—my way of bringing that same spirit to a wider, worldwide audience.
It’s all about collaboration and sharing knowledge with riders everywhere, through digital courses, online resources, and creative projects designed to inspire and challenge the status quo.​
