About Me

Specialising in Dressage Training in Sussex and Surrey

Horses for sale and professional assistance to find that ‘special horse’

A bit about me….

I trained in Denmark for 6 years with Hasse Hoffman and was yard manager for 5 of those years. Specialising in backing and training young horses and also competing to PSG. The years of working alongside one of the most talented riders in the world offered me a fantastic education, and the experience I gathered working with horses of exemplary breeding with differing abilities and temperaments was incredible.

My years abroad extended my passion for dressage training and taught me how to bring out the best in each horse using their own natural abilities and working with each horses individual personality.

I am now based in Dial Post and do most of my dressage training in West Sussex. I ride and train my own horses as well as breeding along Hanoverian and Oldenburg lines. I am available for private dressage lessons on clients own horses, and can take horses for backing, training and/or sale.

Together with my fiance, Leonie, and our three young children the horses are a big part of our lives. Leonie is a qualified Veterinary Nurse and takes care of the horses management – appropriate diets, worming schedules and any required veterinary care.

Please take the time to look around my site and contact me if you think I can help. I look forward to hearing from you!
