Having an intuitive sense of connection with horses is something I believe I have had throughout my life. On many occasions I have been called on to deal with a variety of circumstances were a horse required calming, reassurance and management, and consistently found horses have responded to me well and I was able to bring calm and order were required. During my mid-twenties, I spent a year in the South of France with sole charge of a private family’s horse breeding farm, caring for Arabian horses and a variety of other animals. My responsibilities included: feeding, grooming, mucking out, driving tractors, maintenance work, observation, deworming, treating wounds, lunging and exercising as well as assisting with veterinary, farrier and dental work.

Horses have always been my first love, my true passion and what makes my heart content. I started riding as a child with a year of lessons followed by hacking out until going away to university, where I then volunteered at a disabled riding school for children. These early experiences with horses gave me a feeling of belonging and it’s a feeling which has stayed with me forever.

Exercising and lunging.
