Heather Moffett is well known for her pioneering work, teaching riding with horse movement simulators, whicih she co-developed with an engineer friend. Having a Classical background, Heather was a long term student of the late Capt. Desire Lorent, himself a student of Maestro Nuno Oliveira. Heather subsequently trained with Dr. Margaret Cox who, although not well-known by her own choice, is a brilliant teacher who grew up in Westfalia, Germany, and studied Classical Equitation under various Bereiters of the Spanish Riding School. Six years ago, both Margaret and Heather began training several times a year with Luis Valenca Rodrigues in Portugal, himself a relative and student of Nuno Oliveira.

Heather wrote the best selling book 'Enlightened Equitation', now in its sixth edition in six years, and is currently working on a second, 'Enlightened Equitation, Precision Riding'. Having written series and articles for most of the national equestrian magazines in the UK, she is well known for being outspoken against poor riding and harsh training methods, her 'Enlightened Equitation' organisation standing for 'A kinder way to ride and train horses'.

Heather has taught and lectured all over the world, teaching an incredibly simple method to enable the rider to synchronise their movement with the movement of the horse, even to a total beginner, producing a quiet, elegant, yet effective Classical seat. She also designs and manufactures saddles and other accessories to make riding easier, and spare the horse discomfort.
