I remember clearly my first experience of horseracing. That day was significant, not only for the fortunes of the runners in the Gold cup at Newbury, but also for me. It marked the beginning of an ambitious path I was determined to follow. The excitement mounted as the large crowd began to build.
This, I saw, was no ordinary entertainment. An environment in which horse nutrition and welfare, and the fine-tuning of every performance, was close to the heart of all those present, held a fascination for me. I knew I wanted to be a part of it.
My parents were naturally concerned that I would not follow the family tradition and pursue a business degree to help run the family software business. I was trusted with the responsibilities of marketing computer software to an international audience, producing editorials and national advertising, and liaising with an international public relations agency. This was a most advanced and challenging role that I pursued alongside my business studies course at college. Although my position was comfortable and my success and hard work was rewarding, my passion was still to explore the world of the horse and the competitive equine athlete.
I convinced my parents of my determination to succeed in this field, and have not looked back. My capacity and energy for these studies has been confirmed by my experiences on an exciting two-year National Diploma in Sport and Exercise Sciences. I have found the topics of anatomy and coaching most interesting, and particularly enjoyed the nutrition module.I am interested in the effect of diet on a horse’s performance.
To accelerate my studies, I find it valuable and stimulating to attend conferences and explore developments in the professional world. My passion for equestrian events took me to the Olympic Games in Athens. I observed the dressage,horseback racing and special events for young horses. I recently took part in a one-day athletic conference dealing with key areas that can affect both horse and athlete in a competitive environment - such as fluctuations in climate.
A great inspiration to me was the contribution of Hauke Luther, a trainer and member of the German show jumping team.He led a number of important workshops focussing on the preparation and training of talented young show jumpers. I intend to explore some of his ideas more deeply, relating to progressive elements needed in the education of British riders and their expectations at different stages of their development My prime aim is to achieve peak performance. My studies so far have been beneficial to my own performance on and off the field. One of my proudest achievements has been to pass the ‘BHA’ test through the Pony Club. I compete regularly in equestrian events and was invited last year to represent my county in show jumping and cross-country.
Over the last two years, I have gained my bronze and silver Duke of Edinburgh Awards and am currently working towards my gold. These awards have given me confidence and many opportunities to interact with students with diverse career paths. I have not only learnt about the dynamics of teamwork but also been able to develop my interest in music. Through this scheme, I have widened my social circle and personal horizons: as part of a volunteering programme, I will visit India for three months to teach horse riding to primary school children.
My decision to commit to train and specialize in equine science and nutrition has been extremely fulfilling, and I look forward to learning more about sports science on a wider scale. I am highly motivated to pursue this degree and realise my ambition.
