I trained at college to be a riding instructor along side doing ‘A’ levels. After gaining an ‘A’ level in the history of Art I went on to do various courses, working towards a Foundation Art course. I currently am a member of the Andover Art Society and we meet for regular workshops and demonstrations. Although I do not use my teaching qualifications very often, I did follow a career with horses. I have been the stud manager at Biddesden Stud, Nr. Andover for the past 29 years. My main fame to claim being that I foaled the famous event horse Tamarillo, in fact I also foaled his dam!
