Summary

Gaining knowledge and experience from across the world where I have worked as an assistant trainer and various roles to facilitate the development and education of racehorses. Starting as pupil assistant to Major Dick Hern, and working to become a licensed trainer in South Africa for a further 7 years. I immigrated to Britain in the early 2000’s and have worked for a number of talented horsemen and had an insight into some top organisations, where I have learnt and understood many different techniques, methods and practices. Part of this time, I have been self employed and dabbled in pinhooking (buying foals and selling them as adult horses).
