About Me

I’ve been riding for about 30 years and caught the bug after a riding lesson with my younger brother when I was eight (he fell off, hence the swift end of his riding career). I’ve owned Spock for nearly 20 years and, at 34, he’s proof that Arabs are made of tough stuff. He’s retired now, but we spent many years tearing round the local countryside

Let's find out a little more:

How long have you been riding?

30 years

What is your horse called?

Spock

What is your favourite piece of kit?

That has to be my Muck Boot wellies – I live in them over winter (well, I do take them off occasionally!)

Who is your favourite rider?

John Whitaker

If you could have any famous horse, which would it be?

War Horse!

What is your most embarrising horsey moment?

Coming up with the not-very-bright idea to ride my bike and lead Spock from his field to the yard (which was an annoyingly long distance). He spooked at the bike and I went flying and let go of the leadrope.

What's your favourite cheese?

Goats!

I love:

Red wine

I hate:

The fact I can’t ride Spock anymore
