My experience with horses began in childhood, thanks to my amazing late mum, Christine, who was a rider and instructor herself.

I was fortunate to grow up as a Pony Club member, riding all sorts of wonderful ponies and horses who taught me valuable lessons and provided a lot of old-fashioned fun! I look back on those early years, filled with training, outings and competitions, with immense gratitude.

In my teens and beyond, I competed successfully in BSJA and Hunter Trials. Later in life, my appreciation for dressage truly blossomed, and I was completely hooked. I’ve trained to Advanced level and enjoyed some lovely successes at National Championships along the way.

My time training at the unique TTT (Training the Teachers of Tomorrow) centre was hugely influential, embedding a classical style and ethos that still guides my coaching today.

Now in my 40s, I’m as dedicated as ever. I continue to pursue my own learning and growth, attending regular CPD sessions. My passion for deepening my understanding of these wonderful creatures will never stop.

There is nothing I love more than helping riders build a genuine partnership with their horse and helping horses feel and perform well.

For me, it’s about ethical coaching with a deep passion for equine wellbeing, which led me from coaching to becoming an Equine Therapist in 2019 and building my knowledge in Strength, Conditioning and Rehabilitation.
