Hannah studied BSc (Hons) Equestrian Sport Science at Hartpury and has since gone on to become an Assistant Stable Manager at JIEPP.
"I got to see so many cases treated by our therapists and the Three Counties Vets while working at their Equine Therapy Centre. I loved seeing the rider work with the therapists and vets to rehabilitate the injured horse. It was so amazing to see.
As my tutor said, the horse and rider are a team and everyone working with that team is part of what makes a winning horse and rider partnership. Everyone must work together to get it right.
Lots of riders think it’s only about the horse, but the human is also a huge part of the impact on performance. It’s really important that a human is physically fit, as riding is a sport where the human is also an athlete.
I loved learning about how the horse moves and why. It helped to inform the type of training we design and the feed we give horses to ensure optimum performance."
