Nereide Goodman is a British Dressage List 1 judge; the highest national category. She is also a trainer and rider. Nereide started her equestrian career as a show jumper, moved to eventing but did not like the dressage phase. However she soon realised that if she obtained a good dressage score she did not have to go so fast cross country so the seed was sown! In the past she trained and successfully competed many horses starting with three year olds and bringing them on to advanced level. One of her pupils is now on the World Class Programme competing internationally at Grand Prix. Nereide and her husband John started and ran the internationally renowned Wellington Riding equestrian centre for nearly thirty years. Wellington Riding introduced the first dressage to music championship in this country. Nereide has always been interested in training riders of all levels and takes particular pleasure in helping the horse achieve a good understanding with the rider.
