I have been around horses all of my life. As well as my experience working with them in horseracing and in The Cavalry I have also trained and ridden my own point to pointer and am a keen hunter.

I was in the horseracing industry for ten years after going to The British Racing School in Newmarket when I left school. In this role I would complete daily yard tasks such as mucking out, turnout and medical care. I would also ride out on the gallops everyday with younger or older horses including jumping and using the starting stools. I have also been involved in backing and breaking young horses.

I am now a Regimental Riding Instructor in The Household Cavalry Mounted Regiment in Knightsbridge, London. This involves me coaching riding and horse care with the Cavalry Blacks. I am very involved with preparing the horses to the high standard required to parade in front of Her Majesty. I also train and ride the younger horses on parades to prepare them for life in the cavalry.

I muck out quickly and can keep a yard and tack room tidy with great care of tack. I have work with horses of all ages; unbroken to retired. I am confident in turing out a horse to a very high standard. I have experience in working as a team and sometimes leading that team. I enjoy teaching and coaching people to ride and in horsecare. I have held and important position and role in The Household Cavalry Musical Ride.

I have ridden young, old, green and problem horses with the patience and compassion they need. I am a confident rider to school on the flat and over jumps. I take horses hunting and have ridden in point to points. I enjoy working with horses from the ground including lunging and long reining. I have started young horses and backed and broken thoroughbreds and Cavalry Blacks. Although a lot of my ridden work has been high paced I still enjoy a quiet hack.

I have competed as a child and teenager and local shows including showing and jumping. I have raced over 3 seasons of Point To Points. I have won the Household Cavalry, Lifeguard Squadron showjumping in 2 consecutive years, placed 2nd in the regimental jumping and placed 3rd in the regimental team chase.
