Coaching and Teaching.
I have instilled enthusiasm and motivated the Welsh Marches border area for the last 20 years. I am very much involved with the 
local pony clubs being on the committee of two and a chief instructor of one and an examiner up to H test standard. 
Although an area based very much on agriculture, over the last 15 years I have trained teams and individuals every year who have 
qualified for the Pony Club finals in at least one of the disciplines and although never winning, I have been very proud of their 
horsemanship. I run clinics for the local riding clubs and riding schools.

Leslie Law-Olympic team silver medal 3DE
Graham Law-International Three day event rider
Tristram Owers -Completed Badminton
Louise Skelton-Placed at 3* level eventing
Claire Phillips-Completed Burghley

Hunting
I have hunted all my life. I have been an amateur whip, field master and joint master of the Ludlow hunt for two years. I was 
responsible for the arranging of meets, visiting the farmers before and after the meets and the running of the hunt kennels and 
vehicles.

Training
I was fortunate to train under Capt.E Goldman and Vera Holden for three years during my school holidays which built on a very 
sound foundation installed by the Pony Club. I competed on horses and had coaching from Sven Grape, who was the founder of 
and chief instructor of the Stockholm riding club and helped train the Swedish Olympic show jumping and event teams. I also 
produced and sold horses for Richard Mead O.B.E. 

I have received coaching from the following instructors and fully recognise the need for continuous training:-
