Fiona Stuart, an ex-international eventer, is the sole owner of Tullochan Stables. Originally set up as a working eventing yard, during her successful International Eventing Days. And with her success came her invitation to be the first woman ever to be selected for the Olympic eventing team! As such, she has many amazing exciting accolades under her belt. But now her competition days are over, she runs many clinics around Scotland and at home. As well as her training, she runs her stables in Alexandria (on the cusp of Stirlingshire). Tullochan Stables is nows a friendly and happy home for competitors and happy hackers alike.
Fiona offers assisted DIY, full and part livery at her stables in Gartocharn, (near Alexandria and Balloch in West Dunbartonshire). And with 365 days turnout per year, and large spacious stables you can be sure of a happy horse! You can find out more about livery at Tullochan here.
As an expert in horse biomechanics, Fiona is well known for her training and horse rehabilitation near Glasgow. As such she offers horse training as well as rider coaching in her group and private riding lessons. And she teaches for all levels, from beginners to international levels.
Her livery yard is in Gartocharn by Alexandria near Glasgow in Central Scotland. Fiona trains people and their horses from many areas including, East and West Dunbartonshire, Stirlingshire, Renfrewshire, Ayrshire and further afield.
She specialises in training horses to use their bodies correctly to aid with confidence and ability alike. As such, she does the same for her riders, adapting her training style depending on the riders need to learn or prepare for competition.

Today Fiona is still famous for her talents in transforming horses and riders. Taking them to heights and levels of riding they never thought possible.

She was 3 times Scottish Eventing Points Champion; regularly Scottish Champion at all British Dressage Levels and two years running she was Scottish Sportswoman of the year!

Fiona Stuart’s past is not only glittering when it comes to horses. She also set up the Tullochan Trust, in memory of her late father (one of the most highly regarded soldiers and one of the most decorated soldiers in WW2, Brigadier Pearson). Here she transformed the lives of hundreds of children in the local region, and, almost single-handedly drove the drug gangs from the Vale. As such, she worked tirelessly to drive the ambitions, confidence, and belief systems of impoverished children. As such she removed the demand and supply chain infrastructure for the street gangs. And she was hugely popular with now grown adults, recognising just what she had done for them as kids and how she had turned around their lives to bright futures.
