My name is Lauran, I am an experienced horseback archery coach at Valkyrie Mounted Archery, dedicated to delivering high-quality, personalized training to riders and their horses throughout Scotland and Northern England. With a unique horse-led approach, my coaching emphasizes allowing the horse to develop self-management skills, while breaking training down into small, achievable steps that build confidence and skill in both horse and rider.
I lead regular group sessions but I am also available for private group or individual bookings, pony camps, classroom workshops and my own adults and kids Summer camps. I specialize in training children and young athletes through an age-appropriate grading league and offer resources like the Horseback Archery Beginner Magazine and Kids Horseback Archery Activity Booklet.
I am really excited to expand these offerings to support diversity, equity and inclusion by introducing more riders and riding schools to the rewarding experience and heritage of Horseback Archery.
The Nemethy Horseback Archery Academy in Hungary offers world class coach training that ensures quality knowledge for future coaches and supports high-level international youth development as well as touching on the heritage and culture of horseback archery. I wish to attend this training in 2025 to develop my coaching and horsemanship to a world class standard so that my students can reap the benefits.
The money that is raised will go towards training for me to become a better coach. Please help me to better myself so that I can do better for others.
