About me

Now located in Devon having moved from Bucks, I am a vastly experienced competitor and trainer. Unusually, my experience covers the three disciplines of Eventing, Dressage and Show Jumping.

From an early age I have always been considered to be a natural horsewoman with a gift for reading, feeling and listening to horses. This enables me to 'get under their skin' and understand what they need from me.

I am passionate about helping others achieve this understanding. In pursuit of this goal I have in recent years extensively studied natural horsemanship and become 'Parelli Friendly' in recognition of a system that has helped many understand horses better. Having completed a 'Fast Track' course at Stoneleigh I took up the offer of a 100% scholarship from Parelli to go to Colorado to attend an Instructors course.

I see a great need for the competitive world and Parelli/natural horsemanship to move closer together. I know of some excellent work being done by a few to achieve this and it is my great desire to help build the bridge that connects these two worlds. I believe it is good for them both and even better for the horses! With my competitive and coaching experience I am well placed to help this happen.

British Eventing Accredited Coach

I am a British Eventing Accredited Coach and also a member of Yogi Breisner's Coach Development Team since 2009.

I am a regular judge for the JAS series.

Regularly called upon by BE for BE80(T) training classes, course walks and dressage judging.
