I have been involved with the sport of eventing from an early age, initially through the Pony Club in area teams, and then progressing to BE, in those days, BHS then BHTA, being fortunate to benefit from the juniors and young riders programs and scholarships. I have produced and ridden horses to advanced/3* level and have always coached, but in 2010 stopped competing and became more involved in coaching and training. Over the years I gained my Pony Club A Test and BHSI, and became a BE Accredited Coach, and I also assess for the BHS and BE. Along with working for BE I regularly coach for Pony Clubs, Riding Clubs and train career students for various equestrian qualifications. In 2024 I was successful in achieving the the BHS Fellowship Exam.
