About us;
Kathy; I'm an pro-am show jumper and also an EFT practitioner.
I coach show jumping from poles to 1.20m. I pride myself on working with confidence issues and helping all ages of people enjoy jumping and riding, special needs are also welcome.
Adam; I'm a credit control manager for Newcross healthcare. I enjoy helping organise and judge our events, even though they are hard work and leave me with no time to do much else lol. I only got interested in horses when I met Kathy 10 years ago, before then the closest I had been to a horse was at the races. On the side I love football (Tottenham) Rugby (Exeter Chiefs) and to be honest all sports.
