Our coach has skills that uplift the rider and create a sense of confidence that all riders deserve to feel.

She can also work with the rider and their own horse, but starts with sessions on her talented eventing show jumping horse, Moose.

Love notes from our community

  • "Just had my second lesson from Sarai and Moose, as an adult returning to riding after some pretty full on health issues. Blown away by how much confidence I've gained and how much fun I'm having in such a short time. Sarai is incredibly kind, supportive, explains things in a clear, positive way and completely understands the physical challenges I'm working with right now. Moose is a delight; so gentle and patient. I can't recommend Māori Equestrian highly enough!"

  • "Sarai is an amazing teacher 🙂 I have been having lessons on her pony, Kass, for over half a year, and Sarai has helped me come so far in my riding- whether it be jumping or flatworm, she has experience all around and sees the little things in your riding. Kass is a saint of a pony suited for all ages and skill levels, too- she’s happy to go with the flow, and never refuses jumps. Loves cuddles 🥰. Eve and Sarai are lovely people and both great teachers, I really encourage others to reach out for a lesson!"

    — Sofia Advanced Riding Student

  • "My daughter (7yrs old) started lessons with sarai after being introduced to her through friends and having zero horse ridding experience! Sarai took her under her wing, it was really something special, she built her confidence up an really started a life long passion for horses an the people an lifestyle of caring for them. It became her happy place an sarai became a strong young women she looked up to."
