About White Horse Support

An Introduction

---

Horses have been a part of my life since childhood, and I’ve never looked back! My journey has taken me through various disciplines, including showing with my former ride, Charlie (pictured bottom right), owned by Kelly Barnard. While Dressage is my true passion, I’ll never say no to the thrill of Cross Country!

I particularly enjoy working with horses with "personality"—those with quirks and challenges often become the most rewarding partners when everything clicks into place.

As a coach, my focus is on helping riders achieve their personal goals while bringing out the best in both horse and rider. I'm a UKCC Level 2 and BHS Stage 3 Coach in Complete Horsemanship (BHSAI) and regularly train to stay up to date with industry best practices—because with horses, the learning never stops!

Previously, I worked as a Work-Based Assessor, training students through Levels 1-3 in Horse Care (BHS Stage equivalents), which was incredibly rewarding. I’ve also enjoyed supporting Dressage competitions as a Writer for the judge, offering valuable insight into how tests are scored. While I don’t get to do this as often now, I’d love to get back into it soon!

Alongside coaching, I also judge local Showing shows, covering both ridden and in-hand classes. I love seeing the variety of horses and ponies presented and appreciate the time and effort competitors put into producing their horses to the highest standard.

I have experience coaching both adults and children, working with a wide range of horses as both a rider and instructor. Each session is tailored to the individual, with agreed goals and a fun, supportive approach. 

The best part of freelancing? No two days are ever the same!

My mission

I founded White Horse Support in June 2017 while working as a Groom and Rider for Kyrby Brown, Para Dressage Rider. When this role came to an end in December 2017, I took the leap into full-time self-employment at the start of 2018—and I haven’t looked back since! It’s incredible to see how much my business and client base have grown, and I’m excited to continue building on this success.

My mission is to become the kind of instructor I’ve always looked up to—inspired by riders and owners who have overcome challenges to achieve their goals, no matter how big or small. I owe so much to the incredible instructors who have mentored me over the years, shaping me into the rider and coach I am today. Now, I strive to pass that knowledge and encouragement on to my own clients.

There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing riders achieve their dreams, whether it’s success in the competition arena or personal milestones. I believe in creating a supportive, confidence-building environment that helps both horse and rider reach their full potential.

My long-term goal is for White Horse Support—and my name—to become a well-known presence in the Essex equestrian community. I plan to achieve this by believing in my clients, supporting local competitions and events, and continuing my own professional development to always offer the best coaching possible.
