Interests

Horses
have always been my primary interest, and throughout my life, wherever I have
moved, I have always ridden.

I competed a lot as a teenager and in my early twenties, and during my first
couple of years at university continued to ride for other people before being
able to keep my own horses again. I have extensive experience bringing on young
horses and preparing them for re-sale. Since moving to France I have continued
to ride in clubs and to help people with their young horses. I have been lucky
enough to be accepted twice for a course at the Ecole Nationale d’Equitation
under the tutorship of riders from the Cadre Noir.

My other interests include travel, singing, food and reading.
