Experienced equestrian professional with a strong competitive background, having placed at National-level Showjumping and Dressage events, as well as international one-star competitions.
Over the past 17 years, I’ve held diverse roles across the UK and Europe, including working pupil, yard manager, and rider. My career highlights include:

Currently, I work as a freelance rider, specialising in producing young horses in showjumping & Dressage.
I’m passionate about every aspect of horse care, not just the riding, and thrive in environments where I can contribute to the overall wellbeing, training, and development of horses.
