Finding Inspiration in Every Ride

Showjumping Coach and Rider
Ben C.
Ben started his equine career at the age of 10. He quickly found a love for showjumping and knew he wanted to take that path within the equine world. At just 15 years old Ben left home and moved to a professional showjumping yard where he ended up living and working for four and a half years. During this time, Ben competed up to 3* international level travelling to different shows around the world, including Dubai.
Ben has a real passion for not only the horses but also for his clients, wanting for them to thrive in any discipline they choose.

Showjumping Coach and Rider
Julia B.
Julia found her love for horses at age 12, shortly after stepping away from rhythmic gymnastics due to an early injury. What started at a local riding school near her hometown in Poland quickly turned into a passion for showjumping that led her to compete internationally at 3* level in Longines ranking classes (145/150 cm).
​
Today, Julia combines her experience as a rider with her work as a sports psychologist, helping riders develop skills both physically and mentally.
When Julia is not coaching or riding, you’ll likely find her on a snowboard or chasing waves—still pushing limits and seeking thrills!
