After a recent slight career change, I now have a few hours a week available for riding, or light stable duties. 5'3 lightweight rider, small enough for ponies but very experienced with big fit competition horses and hunters. Covering Crowborough, Wadhurst and the surrounding villages. 10yrs professional experience.

Saturdays mean Second Horses 😍

Hunting is well under way, the boys are flying, and I'm very happy to be plaiting again after 10months off!

Been having the best time East Byshee Cross Country building the lovely Tabby's confidence, videos 1 and 2 from our first outing and the first time I ever rode him. 2 and 3 are from our second session and the 5th video is from yesterday's session, where I pointed him straight at some imposing tyres and he took me like a dream! East Byshee has been perfect, with lots of small inviting fences to start, and some bigger more challenging fences to progress onto!

The very lovely Angus is well and truly famous now! Hopefully he won't go all showbiz on me and will continue to behave for me to clip!

Highland gelding Angus, who has correctly forecast the result of all but one of England’s games in the tournament so far, has garnered a huge following on BBC Radio Kent

Lovely couple of hours looking after Sonny during the Cavalcade of Foxhounds at the South of England Show! Wonderful to see the old boy again for some cuddles!

Lovely to see Alycia Port 's girls were flying this weekend! I have the lovely task of hacking the girls a few times a week, and canter work in pre-season, it's great to see the hard work paying off and everyone enjoying themselves!

Very lucky to have taken the wonderful George out on the Stonehall Hunt Ride, as it was a solo trip I hired a lovely 3.5T lorry from Lords Transport in Crowborough and away we went! It's fair to say he's wintered well considering he's not hunted since before Christmas!

The ever so lovely Angus, who you might have seen on this page, and his wonderful owner Ani have been featured in a Horse and Hound Article about his recent operation. I can't wait to see him for his next clip!

Klo the chestnut I'm on in front loves her galloping, and what a day to be blowing the cobwebs away on the South Downs!

Lovely morning on the gallops at Brightling Park today.

24/12/2020

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to everyone!

12/12/2020

Out all plaited up and having fun in the sun 😊

14/10/2020

Wednesday Workout for the hunters, fit and ready to go after 3months of shedding the summer grass belly and strengthening work! How gorgeous are these boys 😍

13/08/2020

The life of a house sitter when you have 6 horses out! Met Office app, rainfall radar and lightning strike map all on the go to make sure horses get the most turn out possible, but are in before the storm hits!

10/08/2020

Lovely walk out on the long reins with Lucy this morning! They're a hugely under used tool in established horses and it makes you realise just how hard your horses work for you walking up a hill!🥵 My fitness will definitely improve taking her out once a week which is no bad thing with hunting looming ever closer!

23/07/2020

Really feeling the love 🥰 got a little mention from Alycia Port in her section of the Horse and Hound article, on people who juggle a full time career and competing affiliated! So lucky to work for such lovely people with amazing horses!

22/07/2020

Dinner was so good Angus had to lick his lips! 😍 always lovely to see this face!

25/04/2020

With more down time I'm excited to be doing more learning, for myself and the horses I work with. I'm excited to try the free 5 day Mental Training from Tristan Tucker, using the TRT Method. I've seen many of his videos and it's a fantastic approach to training, that I'm looking forward to putting into practice!

Also, with no house sitting this year, I've had to source extra income, so if you order your food shopping from Morrisons it could well be me dropping it to your door!

Stay Safe everyone! X

If Carlsberg did work perks! So lucky to be trusted with the amazing George, I love all the horses I work with but he holds a very special place in my heart ❤

04/02/2020

When my parents asked if I could go home to let the dogs out, there was no way I could say no to this face!

17/01/2020

George was as happy as I was to see some blue sky today! 😍

21/12/2019

Fab time on the downs as hunting was cancelled today, as much as we can canter at home, it's always lovely to box up and really let the horses kick on up the hills with good ground!

19/12/2019

Delighted that a photo from my time as Groom with the OSB&WK was used for this very well deserved article! Jude is such a stunning horse, getting him to look good was never a chore! 😍

04/12/2019

Lovely to see the horses happy now we've had a few days of sunshine! I'll take this freezing cold over the rain any day!

07/11/2019

You can't judge a book by it's cover, but you can judge a yard by its muck heap 👌🏻It's the little details that make all the difference, and is always lovely when they're appreciated!

06/11/2019

Excited to announce I'm officially a Certified Freelancer, awarded by the British Grooms Association! This shows I uphold their excellent standards, not just in caring for horses, but also with my business management, giving you total peace of mind!

02/11/2019

Nothing makes me prouder, than after months of getting horses fit, to see them loving their job this much 🥰

31/10/2019

Always lovely to get this kind greeting from a clients dog! Sorry for the rubbish filming skills 🤦🏼‍♀️

30/09/2019

A gorgeous early start this morning, popping in to do the lovely Angus before my usual round begins!

20/08/2019

Fab day out on Sunday at the Mid Surrey Farmers Drag Sponsored Ride, on the ever gorgeous George, both of us smiling despite the rain! Hunt Rides and Hacks are a great way to introduce some longer work to the horses with the hunting season creeping ever closer. I love how enthusiastic this horse is, and going for a "quiet one" as it was his first trip out since his summer break was quite difficult!

27/06/2019

An incredibly proud day for me yesterday, as my summer reschooling project went for his first dressage trip out! He's a real stress head, so when he kept his head, even after being chased by a peacock in the first warm up, I was over the moon! So to come 5th and 3rd in our classes nearly had me in tears! After 4 years of hunting and only 3 months of schooling we've got a way to go, but we've come further than I ever imagined, and proved a few people wrong!
