Emma barely needs introduction.

During her tenure there she taught numerous top riders the ways of horse management, care, and devotion to the sport and the horses. Emma grew up in North Devon England and was brought up in the hunt field with her dad as Master of the Foxhounds. Emma was raised surrounded by horses. She grew up in the Pony Club system, receiving her “B” designation before going on to college to get her Baccalaureate in Science at the University of Wales. Moving to the States to pursue horses, she moved from strength to strength and is currently sought after groom, clinician, and educator.
