With any horse and rider combination there is always a support team: I am so lucky to have such lovely people
around me (left to right myself, Penny
Bigwood and
Martine Weber). Penny, Nector's owner, is an extremely talented trainer. Her naturally analytical mind makes her especially good at rider development and her totally calm and non judgemental delivery, makes lessons a peaceful and enlightening time, when you feel able to be the very best you can be.
Keeping any horse on the road is a challenge at best, keeping a 20 year old doing Grand
Prix would be impossible without my dear friend
Martine. She is a qualified equine and human Bowen therapist and as such offers us both huge
support, treating
Nector about every 4 weeks and me when needed. On occasions
Martine has made Nector feel so well, I've really had to sit tight and remind him that he is an older gent and not a 4 year old!!
