Isabel Ashworth, Senior Equine Consultant

Isabel learnt to ride at the age of 7 and spent much of her childhood roaming the beautiful Exmoor countryside on horseback. At the age of 11 she got her first pony and enjoyed spending every spare minute communing with her new found friend. Isabel acquired her second pony a couple of years later and thoroughly enjoyed competing at local shows, show jumping and cross country. Horses have remained a passion of Isabel's, but university, travelling and working have meant that they have had to take a back step, although it remains a life long dream for her to own a horse again one day. During a gap year, Isabel was fortunate enough to spend time in Kenya working on a farm, where amongst other duties, she rode around 3000 acres looking for poachers and rounding up cattle to be dipped every week. She also helped look after a string of polo ponies for a while. During her travels she has ridden in Botswana, Zambia, South Africa and played polo crosse in Zimbabwe.Isabel has just returned from our Tuli ride.
