I am a showing judge, equestrian volunteer and representative of The Friendly Showing Society (TFSS), a new community-focused showing society launched this year with a strong focus on inclusivity, encouragement and horse welfare. I have been involved in the horse world for many years through showing, stewarding, commentary and judging across grassroots and affiliated events, including BSPA and BMHS panels. Alongside this, I volunteer as an equine rider with Hampshire Police, helping promote positive engagement within the rural and equestrian community. I am passionate about creating welcoming spaces within the horse world and encouraging people of all backgrounds and experience levels to get involved. Since launching this year, TFSS has quickly built a large and highly engaged Facebook following, promoting positive experiences, good sportsmanship and support across the equestrian community.
