Abi Ruscombe-King
Practice Manager & Pilates Instructor
Abi joined the team in Nov 2008 to assist James with running the business. With a background in organisation and management for the voluntary sector, she spent 8 years working in Adult and Further Education as a senior Lecturer, Assessor, Verifier and Programme Manager.
Abi has a keen personal interest in health and fitness, as well as a love of horse riding, and she spent a number of years training in Dressage, during which time she was introduced to the areas of sports specific training and Pilates to improve sporting performance.
Having discovered the rehabilitative benefits of Pilates in managing her own long standing back problems, Abi chose to train and qualify as a Level 3 certified Pilates Instructor.
Abi also specialises in Pilates for Horse Riders - applying the techniques of Pilates to the specific requirements of horse riding, to improve balance and stability in the saddle, and increase the fine control of applying the aids. The techniques can help all riding dsiciplines, but are particularly relevant to Dressage, where a straighter, balanced rider helps to produce a straighter, balanced horse.
Please do not hesitate to speak to Abi if you have any enquiries or concerns.
