Jacqueline Malone brings over 25 years of equestrian coaching experience and deep psychological expertise. She supports riders in developing the personal and performance skills they need to persevere and thrive in and out of the saddle.

Jacqueline holds an MSc in Sports Psychology and is conducting ongoing doctoral research. Jacqueline has spent her career working with riders of all ages and levels, from grassroots to 5* competition. She founded Ahead for Horses to channel her passion for equestrian sport into practical, psychology-driven support, helping riders harness sports & performance psychology into their daily routine.

Her credentials span sport, commercial, business, coaching and equestrian practice as well as consulting in sport and performance psychology. She brings to EQUISS a deep understanding of the demands of the sport and the pressures and challenges that often go unspoken.

Despite breaking her back in a fall, she continues to compete on the European showjumping circuit, embodying the resilience and determination she helps others build.

Jacqueline's approach is rooted in a simple but powerful belief — that we are all people before we are riders or horsemen. She believes that every person, at every level, has the ability to reflect, develop and become better, not just as a competitor, but as a human being. That philosophy sits at the heart of everything she brings to EQUISS.

"I'm proud to be part of building something that finally puts people and horses first. Every equestrian deserves to work and compete in an environment built on fairness, respect and trust both in public and behind closed doors. EQUISS is the independent voice our sport has never had — and an opportunity to drive the kind of lasting change that brings equestrian sport firmly into the 21st century."
