My backgound
I have always had a passion for horses and started riding as a child. I spent every moment I could at our local riding school and I have been lucky enough to have my own horses. I have always known I wanted to work with horses, I left school and went to an agricultural college to study Horse Management. On completing this I started an Equine Science degree, which led me to Newmarket where I worked in a veterinary diagnostic laboratory. I moved back to Salisbury in 2013, where I continued to work in the scientific industry.
When the pandemic hit, I decided it was time to combine my love of crafting and for horses, and started training as a Saddler at The Saddlery Training Centre. I have been slowly building up my business and officially launched at the start of 2023.
