Hylands is where it all began for me after my parents made the decision to move from Hertfordshire to East Sussex to try and fulfill my Mum's dream of having her own yard. Having started with just one horse and two ponies, Hylands developed into a sucessful business with lessons and liveries.
I decided early on that all I wanted to do was ride and as the business grew so did my enthusiasm for riding and competing. Mum managed to find some ponies that I could compete and she could also use in the school so they earnt their keep!

Gradually as I got older and more involved with Eventing, the yard began to fill up with bigger horses, and so my mum rented a yard directly opposite our house.This has nine more stables and five acres, and very soon was full. We had a serious amount of horses and ponies and needed a fair bit of help. It still felt a little as though we were bursting at the seams... so when Chris Stone offered me the yard at his home which is only 45 mins from home (in the right direction)....we all agreed I should jump at the opportunity. I moved out from home in January 2009, and it was a huge leap!!! You can see more about my new yard on the 'Tattleton Stud' page

Hylands has continued to grow and now we have regular lessons, mainly for children but also some adults during the week. We have an ever increasing number of liveries with some full, part and DIY.
My mum still has my old Advanced horse Jesters Quest (Wally) at home where he will stay until his dying day as he is such a special boy to me. He gave me my first chance to ride at Badminton and Burghley and is a horse I will always have a special bond with.
