ABOUT SARAH
Sarah is one of the most experienced international dressage riders in the UK, having won and competed in many Senior CDIs throughout her career including Senior Nations Cup Team appearances and FEI Dressage World Cup Qualifiers.
Sarah has trained with Kyra Kyrklund and Richard White for over 20 years and was based with them in the UK for three years before moving to Millstones. She also makes regular trips to Gloucestershire to train with Carl Hester.
Sarah started competing internationally at the age of 11, representing Great Britain at a record ten consecutive U21 European Championships and achieving five team bronze medals. During this time, she gained a huge amount of experience which has helped lay solid foundations for her Senior career.
Korenbloem O’Neill, purchased when Sarah was aged 18, was the first horse she trained from a three-year-old to international Grand Prix.
He proved to be a talented and willing performer and together they produced some good results on the international circuit. Katja Kuistila’s HP Frontier and Hofjuwel were also instrumental in Sarah’s career, both horses achieving Nations Cup selection, with FEI World Cup Qualifier appearances for ‘HP’ in both Amsterdam and Neumünster.
With a keen eye for spotting future potential, Sarah has purchased further young horses that she has produced to international success. Impressive VDC (Charmeur x Krack C), bought as a two-year-old, is now competing successfully at international Grand Prix, while the 2016-born Le Zorro BH (Hero x Florencio I) is just starting his Grand Prix journey.
Developing talent is an ethos interwoven throughout the business, and something that Sarah is passionate about. She has created an environment where horses and riders can thrive, with many from both home and overseas, and at all levels up to international Grand Prix and teams, benefiting from their time here.
Sarah enjoys all aspects of equestrianism and is always open to new ideas and philosophies. She has always had a great love for, and understanding of, horses. They and dressage are her way of life. She gains so much enjoyment not just from competing herself but equally from training the young horses and helping others attain their dreams.
