I started my training in 2002, passing my first exam in March 2003 and working for a local Master Saddler. I took a break in 2005 to start a family but continued to work from home until 2009. At this point I started Wylye Valley Equine primarily as an Equine Laundry, fitting this in around my family whilst I worked towards gaining the rest of my qualifications.
