What is Dressage?

Dressage is an Olympic sport, often referred to as ballet of the horse because of its beauty and elegance. Dressage represents the highest level of training a horse can achieve. The movements are based on those a horse performs while running free and interacting with herd mates. To train the horse to move like this with a rider on top requires a high level of precision, obedience and concentration from both horse and rider.

A Little About Me

I have a great passion and understanding of horses, which has led me to many successful jobs as a rider and manager. During this time I have produced many young horses to competition level and I continue to have a good bank of clients that I train as a Registered BHSAI instructor. Currently I have my own base at Peakirk in Peterborough where I run a competition livery yard. I am an outgoing, fun person who strives for success!

Goals

My short term aims are to have a larger selection of horses to train and compete from my own base/yard and to establish a secure reputation on the dressage circuit.

My long term goal is to ride to Grand Prix level (internationally) and to ride for Britain in the 2012 Olympics.
