My background

Growing up on a farm in Dorset, I’ve always loved the outdoors and it was obvious, when I couldn’t sit still at school, that I wasn’t going to suit your average academic career.

 

Horses have always played a huge part in my life, and so after three years in London, I set sail for Africa determined to work with horses in the bush. I started at Borana Lodge in Kenya’s Laikipia, helping as a lodge assistant for a few months.

This planted the seed, and I returned to Botswana the following year to work with Ride Botswana, which operates mobile safaris in the Okavango Delta and the Makgadikgadi Pans. I returned here for many years, working with the horses and hosting guests in the bush. 

 

I also managed Sosian Lodge in Kenya before heading back to Botswana in 2020 as full-time Horse Manager. I returned to the UK after the pandemic lockdown later in 2020.
