We asked Sahara…
What age did you start riding?
I started riding when I was 4, I then went on to work on yards from the age of 12 years old and I recieved free lessons in return of my work. I baught my first horse Reuben who I adored at the age of 17 years old. He taught me a lot of things especially how to sit to a buck after many years of challenging me. This never put me off and I have always had horses ever since!
Favourite part of your job?
I love my job, this is because it allows me to be situated close to both my home and my horse. I enjoy the office based role and I’m still able to incorporate my horse experience into everyday situations. Everyone here shares the same passion of horses so we are like one big family. The opportunities to attend shows with the team is a lot of fun, meeting like-minded people and it’s great to continue gaining experience!
