Amy started riding at the age of 3 at a trail riding center in rural Wales, UK.
She eventually progressed to having her first horse at 8 years old. She competed in mounted games races with her palomino pony, Lady and had lots of fun regularly attending Pony Club events, and summer camp where she gained a great deal of her early knowledge of horse care and riding.
Her family (and Lady) eventually moved back south towards Greater London.
Amy progressed through different horses, keeping them all at the same stable and also occasionally giving lessons for other horse owners there. Whilst at high school she carried out work experience at a riding for the disabled school, which she found a very valuable and rewarding experience.
Throughout her teens and early twenties, Amy continued to ride, although at 19 competition riding had to take a back seat whilst she studied for her batchelors degree at UCA Farnham.
Amy had some training with Philip Spivey an international showjumper, and successfully competed her own, and clients horses in showjumping, dressage, and eventing. Also representing her high school and area Pony Club at national showjumping trials.
