Training liveries, rider tuition, and secure indoor & outdoor facilities in Hampshire — run by an international dressage competitor.
My journey began at the local stables in Dubai, where my mum worked as Yard Manager. Growing up around horses from such a young age instilled in me a deep passion for the sport, alongside the resilience, adaptability, and understanding required to work with spirited horses.
At 12, I partnered with my first horse, Flagmounts Crackerjack ("Jack"). Together, we competed in the FEI World Dressage Challenge for four consecutive years, winning the Junior Champion title three years in a row. We also claimed victory in the National Eventing Championship, The Spinneys Cup.
In 2016, I relocated to Hampshire to refine my technique and further develop my international career. Riding former Grand Prix mount Keystone Darling, thanks to Kate Smith, I progressed onto the international circuit, representing Great Britain at CDI events at Keysoe and Hickstead.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to train with some of the most respected names in dressage, including Carl Hester and Nicola Buchanan. I am also incredibly grateful to Nereide Goodman for her ongoing coaching and support throughout my career, both in the UK and Dubai.
I have ridden and trained up to Grand Prix, and I am currently part of the World Class Podium Potential Pathway Programme, working towards my ultimate ambition of representing Great Britain at the Olympic Games.
A particular passion of mine is developing young horses from the very beginning of their education. I love taking a horse from its early days, often before they are backed, and nurturing their development all the way through to Grand Prix level. Building a partnership, developing confidence, and watching a young horse progress through the levels is one of the most rewarding aspects of my career.
I am also a BHS accredited coach, bringing structured, safety-focused instruction to every lesson alongside my competition experience.
Alongside pursuing my international ambitions, I run First Wave Equestrian, offering tailored training, professional livery, and rider tuition across Hampshire.
My aim is to help every horse and rider reach their full potential through thoughtful training, individualised care, and a passion for excellence.
