In what year did your sponsorship with Albion Start:

2008

How did your sponsorship come about:

Meeting Sherry through Nereide Goodman.

Why did you choose to work with Albion:

I was introduced to Albion saddles over 10 years ago, it made such a difference to my advanced horse it was unbelievable.

What is your favourite Albion product and why:

I love my SLK’s, I have been in them for so long I can’t seem to change!

When /why did you first start riding:

My mum put me on a pony when I was about two years old and I loved it. Nereide gave me my first pony when I was 6 and although I sat in the sand looking up at him after being bucked off most of the time, I never seemed to want to stop trying.

Best advice given:

Get back on when you fall off. Work hard and it will pay off! Training and transforming a horse will not happen overnight. There is no such thing as a short cut (I have looked hard and they are right!).

Likes

Horses (obviously!) my lovely terrier Womble, cats and chocolate!

Dislikes:

Mean people, spiders.
