Meet The Team

Hello! I'm Sophie, a thirty-something year old who lives in the Vale of Belvoir in the East Midlands with my husband and our two boys. I have two horses, a mare and a gelding, both of whom are thoroughbreds. As well as the horses, I love singing and musicals, and in the past, I also used to do a bit of opera during my singing lessons. I find singing is such a great way to express your emotions and get out any trapped feelings. As much as I love the horses, if I could go back in time, I'd choose ...

Hello everyone! I’m new to the Horsemart writing team and would like to introduce myself. I’m an event rider and freelance advertising copywriter, working in sunny South Manchester whilst escaping to the Cheshire countryside to ride as often as possible. By day, I come up with promotional ideas and write creative copy for press ads, websites, email campaigns, films, social posts – whatever my clients want to promote their brand. By night I speed over to the stables to ride for as long a...

I discovered my passion for horses when I was very young and immediately knew I wanted to spend my life with them. I have been riding for 25 years and the trigger occurred at the age of 10 when I discovered the profession of ‘Animal Osteopath’. Since that day, this passion has not left me. 15 years ago, this therapy was not very popular in France but I finally found a 3 year course. After taking this course I wanted to complete my knowledge so I started a 5 year course in osteopathy for huma...

Hi there! My name’s Chloe and I’ve just become a contributor for Horsemart. I'm so so excited to be here! My content will mainly consist of discussions and help/advice. I’m 23 years old and live on the outskirts of Birmingham. I’d love to say I’m extremely confident but I’m not! I lost my first pony, Conker, when I was 8 years old, and the 5 year gap between losing Conker and owning my now horse, Poppy, proved to be harder than I thought it would be. It seemed like I’d missed out o...

Hi, I’m really excited to be part of the Horsemart blog team. I’m Clare Guest and here’s a quick rundown of myself, where I’ve been and where I plan on going! Basically, I’m a middle-aged horse-mad woman who is lucky enough to have the most amazing partner in Phil; great chef and DIY extraordinaire. Our household is completed by Paddy the non-event horse, Milton the marvelous mini Shetland, Hamish the collie and two cats, Snuff and McCavity. We live ‘Up North’ in the glorious Fo...

Hello Everyone! As a new contributor to Horsemart, I thought I’d tell you a little about me. I coach and train riders in mindset and mental strength, using NLP (neuro-linguistic programming), hypnotherapy and Time Line Therapy®. I’ve worked with equestrians for about 7 years now, but it wasn’t always that way! I’d always been fascinated by the mind and the fact that we never use it to its full potential. It was because I had problems with my own riding nerves that I investigated t...
