Dean and Claire have both been involved with horses for as long as they can remember, both competing at a high level from very young ages.

Dean came up through pony club and then concentrated on his Dressage which took him to the Nationals in 2004 and the British Young Rider teams in 2005 and 2007. He has won three team gold medals and numerous individual placings during this time.

Claire has Show Jumped from an early age competing a
string of top ponies before moving onto horses. Claire gained a sponsorship arrangement in 2005 and has had the privilege of training with International riders and trainers such as David Broome (International Show Jumper) Michael Beihning (German Olympic Dressage Trainer) and Amanda Leakin (Dressage Rider).
