“In my role as an Equine Lecturer and Course Manager, I teach across a range of topics. Whether I’m at the head of the classroom or out in the yard, I’m happy to be sharing my knowledge and experience with our students.

“Outside of my role at the college, I’m also a BHS stage 5 coach, meaning I’m able to support riders across all the equine disciplines to improve their confidence and skills in the saddle. Being able to share this industry knowledge with my students is really beneficial to help them become confident equestrians."

“I develop strong relationships with the learners – many of them say they feel like different people at the end of their time here – and set them up to succeed in industry after completing their course.

“My role is so rewarding. It’s the perfect opportunity for me to combine my passions for horses and education. The facilities here are outstanding, and, together with the industry expertise within the Equine team, ensure that students get the very best out of their studies here – whether they’re looking to head straight into a role in the industry or take it to the next level by pursuing higher education.”
