Starting out

Scott and his older sister, Lea, have shared a love for horses from childhood. Scott’s father bought a pony for him and his sister to share when he was six years old. The siblings dedicated all their free time to riding, and their weekends were spent competing across the UK. At the age of 16, Scott was set on making something bigger out of riding and turning it into more than just a hobby.
