Background   I am a very young 42 year old and work as a sole trader

running two business’, one a livery yard and the other a marketing company.

  I have been in Sales and Marketing all my working life having run business to business magazines and held the position of marketing manager of an International engineering company.

  My passion is dressage and all things equestrian and I now dedicate my days to training and competing whilst fitting in my Marketing work.

  I have successfully competed dressage horses to Prix St George Level and represented team GB in Spain 2008.

  I believe in producing UK horses so last year I started researching potential Stallions to breed from and will continue to breed to support the UK programme of producing good quality horses.

Competitive results to date  Qualified for Regional Finals to Advanced 2008

  Represented Britain in 2008 Sunshine Tour and was overall 9th place

 Qualified 6 Year old International

  9th in semi final 6 year old Int Hickstead 2010

  First home bred foal was 1st in 2010 BEF Plumpton 31 Aug 2010

Florestamber

  I imported Florestamber as an unbroken 3 year old. She successfully competed at Prix St George and represented team GB.

  Despite serious injury to myself prior to Sunshine Tour we qualified for the Kur final.

  We achieved 9th overall

  She is now in foal to Jazz

Zaino M

  Last October I purchased a new horse from the Equine Elite Auction.

  Zaino is featured in this years catalogue, and had also had a write up in the Horse and Hound.

  We came 9th in the International 6 year old class at Hickstead.

  We are now going to embark on a fast track ride through the levels to the sunshine tour hopefully representing GB in 2011. We are working at Adv Med at home and competing regularly.

Fideramber

  Fideramber was imported as a 2 year old stallion with Florestamber.

  I successfully competed him before being injured when my trainer Sarah Millis took over the ride.

  Sarah competed him representing team GB in Sunshine Tour 2008.

  He was sold at the Equine Elite Auction in 2009.

Florella Hit

  Florella Hit is our first homebred foal and she recently won the dressage class at the BEF Plumpton

  I have two mares in foal for next year including my PSG mare Florestamber, who is in foal to Jazz, We believe this foal is going to be the first direct Florestan / Jazz foal to be born (obviously a liver chestnut boy would be serious beginners good luck !)

Training  My trainer Sarah Millis has represented TeamGB

at the highest levels since she was a junior

  I ride/train my horses every day

  I physically train to stay supple 3 times a week

  I teach all ages to all levels of dressage adopting a holistic approach to training for both horse and rider

The future   Our dream is to ride and represent team GB at Grand Prix Level.

  Sponsorship means recognition of our achievements to date and the help/team support to achieve our ultimate dream in the future - Grand Prix - and the opportunity of representing our Country again !

  I would use the sponsorship money wisely towards training and entry fee’s. This would help in the achievements needed to represent GB in the Sunshine Tour 2011.

  In return I can offer a sponsor a high level of professionalism at all times representing your brand in a highly competitive market where we need sound horses and the ability to diagnose problems quickly. Exposure on numnah/lorry/clothing and verbal exposure by taking a very real interest in your product. I have a great deal of experience in injury to both horse and person and appreciate just how important it is to detect lameness early…………. commitment to achieve the best needs specialist expertise.
