Hello,
I am an international dressage young rider for GB based in Hampshire. You could say that my riding career started when I sat on my first pony at the age of 3 and a half weeks (Thanks Mum).
Born in Dubai I grew up at the local stables as my mum was the yard manager. This exposed me to riding from a very young age. It’s safe to say that very quickly I learnt how to fall off at the yard, especially as I always seemed to be given the honour of riding the naughty ponies.
I owned my first horse at the age of 12, Flagmounts Crackerjack (Jack to me) and with him I competed in the FEI World Dressage challenge 4 years running. I achieved the tittle of junior champion 3 years on the trot. My proudest achievement with Jack is winning the National Eventing Championship, The Spinney’s Cup, made all the more sweeter by the fact that I beat my mum.
In 2016 I moved to Hampshire in GB to improve and develop my riding ability. I met my current trainer Kate Smith who has introduced me to the international scene while also letting me ride one of her ex Grand Prix Keystone Darling to learn and show off my abilities as a rider. Together this year we have competed at Keysoe and Hickstead internationally. Alot of thanks has to go to Nereide Goodman for her continued coaching and support both here in the UK and back in Dubai.
I hope you can join me on this journey as I set my sights on my dream which is to compete at the Olympics. This year however my heart is set on competing in an International competition abroad.
