I first started riding when I was around eight or nine-years-old. My grandfather trained flat and National Hunt horses and my mother also rode from a young age, so I've always been around or interested in the equestrian lifestyle in one way or another. I was a member of the Cotsworlds Vale Farmers' Hunt for many years and competed in Pony Club, showjumping and eventing competitions.
In 2019, I was a member of the Central U18's Squad. In 2023, I was on the Young Rider Europeans squad in Montelibretti.
Competing for the Central U18's team back in 2019 at Frickley was a key moment for me. I spent three years with Harry Meade from the age of 17, which gave me the opportunity to soak up an invaluable amount of knowledge and experience that I am truely grateful for. Being selected and competing for Great Britain in the Young Rider Europeans at Montelibretti was a big milestone and a massive honour for me.
Completing Lignieres CCI4*L with Cash Casino, the horse that kick-started my career in eventing, was a big moment. Cash Casino is now retired, living his best life with us on the farm.
Being part of Caroline Moore's PMP Performance Mentoring Programme for over two years was great and gave me a lot of support.
I competed on my first Senior FEI Eventing Nations Cup team at Bicton in May 2025 with DHI King Nelson, which was a huge honour. The team won and Nelson and I finished eighth individually.
I'm lucky enough to be based at home in Worcester near Broadway, with a very supportive family. Our set-up is constantly improving because it was a very run-down farm when we moved in. My younger sister, Beau, is my top groom and has her own dressage horses. My home coach, Karen Nicholas Eacock, holds clinics with us almost every week and has been my mentor for many years.
The horses have all-year-round turnout and have a very calm, quiet and relaxed environent, which I think is an essential part of their overall wellbeing. We are adding more and more facilities as we go along and it is starting to really come together. It is also a growing conservation haven, thanks to my grandparents. We are surrounded by good hills, excellent hacking, have gallops not too far away and a good amount of land to make our own high-quality hay. We also have facilities to train all three phases of eventing, now including a 60x30 arena.
My long-term ambitions are to be consistently at the top of the sport and to be competative while doing so, but always putting horse welfare first. The Olympics have always been a goal for me and, of course, Badminton and Burghley! In the next few years, I'm aspiring to be selected for more senior teams and to start building the depth of horses I have, to help fund my career.
It is a great honour to have been selected for the World Class Programme, and I think that the coaching aspect will benefit me the most because I'm always interested in hearing new advice and ideas from all the coaches available. I welcome any and all advice because there is always something to learn. I believe I can test and pick out the things that really work for me and my horses to gain the best knowledge, then implement it. There are so many aspects that I will benefit from and I am very thankful.
I am very passionate about my coaching and bringing on the next generation. Gaining my coaching qualifications is important to me.
