About

I am a passionate show jumper currently based in Johannesburg, South Africa, with competition experience up to the 1.30m level. I am currently competing my young horse at the 1.30m level, focusing on producing it for higher levels of the sport. I specialise in developing young and challenging horses, while helping riders confidently progress in their show jumping journey. I have developed a strong foundation in training and producing horses of all levels, with a particular interest in working with young, inexperienced, and “problem” horses. I take pride in producing horses correctly and according to their individual needs, ensuring a solid foundation for long-term success. I don’t just ride trained horses—I produce them to this level myself. I own two horses of my own, which I actively train and compete, and I also work with six additional horses ranging from young horses to advanced competition horses. My experience across different types of horses allows me to adapt my approach and effectively support both horse and rider, especially in situations where confidence or performance may be lacking. In addition to my riding, I have teaching experience working with beginner and intermediate riders. I am passionate about creating a positive, structured, and supportive learning environment, helping riders build confidence, improve their skills, and develop strong partnerships with their horses.
