"I dreamed of successfully working in the equine industry; Hartpury has been instrumental in my doing so. I was lucky enough to do work experience on Great Britain Olympic dressage rider Carl Hester’s yard. Carl and the rest of the team’s horsemanship, talent and success is, in my eyes, the pinnacle of dressage!"
