Over the decades we have been privileged to work, ride and compete these amazingly intelligent animals that the horses are in the equestrian world we have worked with and helped and supported many equestrians in many areas some are famous and some just wanted their for ever partnership with their horse consolidated or moved to the next stage. Others just wanted to load them effortlessly some just need a trusty equestrian to look after their horse whilst they go on holiday. Some I was spoilt enough to compete and ride for them: Below are a large variety of different people who we have helped at different times with different problems – we hope we can solve and support your equestrian needs in the future too.
