I have a huge team who all
play a part in the overall success. From family, to friends,
owners, trainers, sponsors, all the sports science support,
human & equine, school & university support from teachers &
lecturers, many people affect and support myself and my
horses on our goal of success on the world stage.
Parents – Mervyn & Nicola Wells
My parents have supported me
from the beginning, when I was so keen to learn to ride, and
supported my ambitions to be the best in the world.
Trainer – Angela Weiss (www.papplewickequestriancentre.com)
I started training with Angela
near the end of 2004. Angela has been a massive support to
me in my training and has helped me to develop as a rider to
where I am today. As well as the training, Angela has helped
me through all my teenage years to learn how to cope with
all the other aspects of training and competing, from
pressure to nerves etc.
Angela is the coach to the
World Class Development & Foundation Squads, is an
international grand prix rider and the director of Para
Dressage in British Dressage. She has taken a key role to
development of para dressage in Great Britain from both
sides.
Owners - Dr Jackie & Dr Neil
Walker
Jackie & Neil have been
amazing owners, right from when I approached them to see
about riding Noki. They have supported me every step of the
way, travelling to Norway & Kentucky to the Europeans & WEG.
I couldn’t ask for better owners!
