Specialities
I am passionate about having a career with horses. I am diligent, reliable, committed and always give 100%. I am a confident rider and ride regularly to a high standard. I love jumping and have ridden on fast rides with Cholwell Riding Stables across Dartmoor many times. On two occasions I have felt privileged to be asked to lead the ride, which was fantastic. I have regular BHS coaching at Oaklands Riding School, Exeter and St Leonards Equitation Centre, Launceston.
