Riding Discipline:
dressage / sand dancing / I do the one where the horse prances around the arena

Your coach(es):
The arena mirrors combined with a video camera and a very self critical nature do a pretty good job.
Name the most influential person in your riding career and why:
My mum - she’s wonderful. She got us into riding as kids and gave it up herself for us. She has always been there and has believed in and supported me my whole career. She’s come back to riding herself - now she drives 6 hours to a clinic to come have a lesson with me!.
Describe your riding history:
Lot of horses and even more circles.
Special highlight(s) in your riding career:
Being named reserve for the Rio Olympics, selected for the WEG and ranked in the top 100 riders in the world in 2016 and 2017 and currently being long listed for Tokyo Olympics
What are your ambitions?
World domination, riding a unicorn and a perhaps medal or two in between
Have you trained or coached any riders who have had success?
I have Many! My clientele ranges from amateurs to seasoned professionals - for some, success has been finding new confidence in their riding and the choices they are making in their training and for others it’s been moving up the levels and achieving their desired competition results. To me, one does not outweigh the other.
Special care and management considerations of your horse(s):
I’ve always found it is important to make sure your horse has a balanced diet to complement their training - as their health starts from the inside out.
Which Pryde’s feeds do you use and why do you like them?:
Most of my horses are on EasiPerformance, I find this provides them with all the energy they need to train and perform at the top of the sport, and it keeps them looking amazing too!
My young horses are fed EasiResult, its perfect for providing all the goods to keep them looking and feeling great without heating them up.
