Jo’s  love of horses started at an early age (it is said that she could ride before she could walk!) and while still at school, she successfully competed at show jumping and eventing. 

 

During Jo's more than 25 years time in the industry, she has never stopped learning about the different needs of horses. She firmly believes that every horse is an individual and the trainer's job is to find out what it takes to get the best out of that horse. Training must always begin with ensuring a horse is healthy, well looked-after, and enjoys its work.

 

This philosophy, coupled with the first-class facilities at Common Farm,  enables owners to feel confident that their horses will get every possible chance to be successful and will be trained in an environment where their individual welfare comes first.
