My parents met when they had horses stabled next to each other, and there have always been horses at home.
Eventing is my passion; I've been lucky enough to produce horses to Badminton grassroots level and I'm now competing my horse Freddie at one-star- and I split my time between London and my parents' home in Shropshire, where my horses live.
While reading French and politics at Durham, I became more horse-obsessed than ever. It was then that I was selected to ride for the British universities' team, which took me all over Europe, and this was the first time I had brands making contact wanting to support me.
I started working as a content influencer with a couple of equestrian clothing firms and was grateful to do it for products to start with, although I wasn't doing it very professionally then.
Now I have more than 13,000 followers on Instagram and equestrian modelling is a big focus for me, working with brands that range from Toggi, Holland Cooper and Fairfax & Favor to Alan Paine and Hugo Boss, plus jewellery and accessories businesses.
