⭐️ Here’s some highlights from a great week at the preparation show!

🍀 I feel lucky to work with this lovely lot and do have to pinch myself sometimes! From the athletes, to their riders, trainers and grooms alongside the whole World Class Program team. A genuine thirst for doing the absolute best we can to support the incredible athletes and their horses really showed from everyone.

💭 A few less atheltes at this show gave me time to watch more, reflect and spend time understanding all aspects of the teams input and how each speciality interlink and work seamlessly with each other, sometimes with out even realising.

🫶 So I come away even more inspired and excited for the season ahead as we look forward to the World Championships back at Aachen in August.

🙏 Thank you to my team at home for diligently keeping running so well & to all my clients for fitting in around a busy year with travelling. I love my home job as much as my travelling work and I’m very grateful for all the support that allows me to keep both plates spinning!

❤️🐴✨

Great to have Georgie from PEC Physiotherapy join us for some learning at our Sparsholt Simulator sessions.

Look out for more dates coming soon - always so much to learn from combing these sessions with physiotherapy / Pilates and on horse work!

Huge thank you to Hannah and Liz (and Charisma!) at for both allowing me to come and shadow what they do during a mechanical horse assessment and assessing me on Charisma. Super interesting and loads to take away from the day- I will certainly be investing in some Franklin balls and resistance bands🙌🏼 If anyone is interested to know more then I would definitely look out for future dates at Sparsholt as it is so important to know what your body is doing when on a horse!
