I am a 22yo professional event rider, based from a beautiful yard near Newent, in Gloucestershire. I am from a completely non-horsey family, and got into horses by chance, aged 9, by watching the film International Velvet on TV! I went through school aiming to set myself up with a career to help me fund the horses, but despite achieving very good grades throughout, I decided that I had to pursue my dream of working with horses full time and left to start my first working pupil position. As I had no family help with the horses, I knew I had to get the most experience possible in order to succeed. I spent the years 2015-2018 working for multiple top level event riders, gaining in depth knowledge of the riding and management of competition horses, which has allowed me to set up my own business, and to produce my own horses up the eventing levels. During this time I was also a dedicated British Eventing (BE) volunteer, and won their Young Volunteer of the Year award. I am committed to the sport of eventing, and to a life caring for and improving horses, with the hope that this leads to success at the highest level, and one day, on the British team.
TESTIMONIALS
"Eilidh has broken in 5x youngsters for me over the past year. All done in a calm and sympathetic manner which has resulted in horses that are happy and settled with being worked whilst still retaining their wonderful personalities. I cannot recommend her enough for working with young horses, the fact that I keep sending more back to her says it all really. All I can say is Thank You for taking such good care of my fur-kids."
"We couldn’t be more delighted with the gem of a horse we bought from Eilidh last year. She is so well mannered, easy to do, safe and sensible. We love her to bits! Thank you Eilidh."
"Eilidh is a game changer and I would recommend her to anybody wanting to realise a dream, no matter what level. Eilidh helped me get connected to my horse Gerry and gave us the confidence to go BE80 within a year, finishing 3rd in Scottish BE80 points table thanks to some good placings including a win. I think Eilidh is really special to have enabled me to make the most of my lovely horse, because I had so little experience. Eilidh’s straight, relaxed and positive professionalism works really well for us. Without her we wouldn’t have such great memories or got out there to benefit from different instructors, camps and Area 22. I continue to send Gerry to Eilidh for Winter or periods to keep up fitness and schooling when my work gets busy."
"Eilidh has produced young horses for me for many years and we have both loved watching them progress up the grades. Eilidh is a dedicated horsewomen who has the ability to combine hard work with fun and laughs along the way."
