Jamie Wright​

Having taken an interest in horses as a teenager, Jamie was able to take his BHS AI as an eager 18 year old and then for the next 15 years was lucky enough to travel around the world working for many international riders from Europe, North and South America and New Zealand, constantly being inspired and learning along the way.

Eventually it became time to settle down and he started to teach and ride freelance, mainly working with young or difficult horses. He has been very fortunate to ride for some very supportive owners and has a great selection of clients that he enjoys teaching.

During the 2015 event season Jamie competed to FEI** and advanced level and achieved a lifetime's ambition to ride at the British Championships around the advanced course at Gatcombe. He also has some very exciting youngsters who started their careers in 2016. 

Jamie tries to give something back to our sport so he has become a trainee dressage judge and qualified as an Accredited British Eventing Coach.
