My Story:
Growing up I enjoyed an idyllic childhood in rural Essex with ponies
thanks to my generous and supportive parents where I competed in cross country, show jumping and dressage events with varying degrees of success, along with many blissful summers at Pony Club camp.
Having spent a 20 year break from riding and racing I was fortunate to get back in the saddle at the brilliant Zoe Davison's yard and have also gained experience with Gary Moore and Luke Dace. I took part in the Magnolia Cup at Goodwood in August, which was the ultimate dream come true! I continue to ride at Gary Moore’s yard every weekend, his family and team have been so welcoming, and I treasure my time spent at the yard and with the horses. It is a vital tonic after a week of commuting to London and office life. Getting back into horse riding and racing and all the people I have met along the way has enriched my life in a way I never thought possible and I am thrilled to be taking part in the race at Newbury and raising money for The British Horse Society.
