| I came late to riding only taking it up when I was sixteen in order to chat up a
girl (now my long suffering wife Sharon) it soon got into my blood and I took it
up as a profession. I have a BHSAI and am an NVQ trainer and assessor. I managed
a large riding school for 7 years and still teach there regularly and am also a
BSJA course builder. I am just finishing off my diploma in Health & Safety
and run a small company which provides Health & Safety advice and
training. Please feel free to contact me on any issues relationg to road safety and road safety tests in the East Midlands Region |

| Having loved horses all my life I am lucky to incorporate my job with my main
interest as I am a Lecturer in Equine Studies at Moulton College, Northampton. I
have been a member of the BHS for 20 years and am a BHS II. I am also on the
Northamptonshire County Committee. After equine welfare, my main interest is
Dressage and I judge at local events. I am currently working towards becoming a
listed judge and a BHS Riding and Road Safety Test Examiner. Away from horses I
do a bit of running and last year raised over £1000 for equine welfare by
running 2 marathons |
