Accomplishments

On a personal level I have had ponies and ridden since I was 3 and won the Horse of The Year Show in 2022 with my Welsh Section B Teddy and have qualified every year from 2021 in various classes. We regularly ride at shows from Highland to New Forest and also ride at different shows for various producing yards to get their horses qualified for them.

I have always been surrounded by horses through my parents and sister and won the BSPS Young judges competition at Malvern in 2023.

NVQ Level 2

I am currently completing my NVQ Level 2 as an equine groom with the National Racing College, which i am aiming to complete within the next few months.
