Would you like to feel more connected to your horse?

 

Profile





My passion (or rather, my obsession!) with horses has been part of me for as long as I can remember. Where that love came from, no one really knows — I grew up in a seaside town with a completely non-horsey family! Riding lessons were always a dream, but not something that was possible, no matter how much I begged.

​

Then, when I was eight years old, a miracle happened. One Christmas, I received a card from our landlady — inside, it said I could have a free riding lesson every Sunday for as long as I wanted. What a gift! I am totally aware of how much this one act of kindness changed my whole life trajectory. 

​

From that moment on, I was completely hooked. Horses became my whole world. I’d ride any pony or horse on offer which usually were the ones that were a bit miss understood. I wanted to help people find that same connection. That’s when it clicked — to truly help horses, I needed to start with their humans. That is where my journey really began.

​

My life as a student of the horse has led me on quite a journey. Horses are incredible teachers, and I truly believe they bring a certain magic into our lives. I began on a traditional, conventional training path, gaining my BHS Complete Horsemanship (formerly BHS AI) qualification while studying for my BSc (Hons) in Equine Studies (with Applied Physical Therapy).

​

Studying academic equitation then led me to International Society for Equitation Science (ISES). Today I am still proud to be a member practitioner of the ISES. This means I use the first principles when developing training solutions, ensuring that the approach is always clear, ethical, evidence-based, and horse-centred.

​

I spent three years living and working in Canada, where I had the chance to explore western riding and compete in western dressage. This experience opened the door to the École de Légèreté. After Canada, I spent time living in Portugal, where my love for the Lusitano horse only grew stronger.

​

I am now back in the South East of the UK, currently working for a charity that supports young people from Brixton through horses. My present goals include gaining my Légèreté qualifications and completing the fieldwork required to become certified in Masterson Method bodyworker.

​

After twenty years of studying and working with horses, I still hold the same excitement and enthusiasm as my eight-year-old self who simply loved spending time with ponies! I would be honoured to share my knowledge with you and your horse, and to help the connection between you both grow.
