Alina Gudat

Hi! I’m Alina, professional rider (gelernte Berufsreiterin) and founder of SMUKHEST. Riding never came naturally to me and today, that's my biggest strength as a coach. Over the years, I’ve developed thousands of solution- oriented approaches to help riders build true harmony, overcome fear, train their horses correctly over the back- and have fun whilst working our butts off!

Having trained and competed in both Germany and the UK, I blend solid dressage, eventing and biomechanics with empathetic rider coaching. Whether you’re working through anxiety, starting a young horse, or striving for better seat and connection- we brainstorm and train as a team.

I specialise in teaching how to work horses over the back properly with fine aids and am happy to help, regardless of breed or age - as long as you are willing to put in the work.

Lessons available in German (native), English (native), Spanish (beginner but does the trick), French (not good with everyday words, but have lots of horsey words at hand).
