About Chloe

Welcome to my world of equestrian adventures and horsemanship! I’m a 4* level event rider and trainer, an intrepid expedition leader, and a passionate advocate for equine welfare.

BIOGRAPHY

My journey with horses spans over a decade, encompassing a wide range of experiences and achievements. From my early days winning competitions to venturing into the wilderness on horseback, my passion for equines has driven me to explore new frontiers in horsemanship and adventure.

I’ve authored a best-selling book titled “Fearless,” sharing my life story with horses, which was published in 2018. Alongside my competitive successes, I’ve dedicated significant time to equine welfare initiatives, combining my love for horses with a commitment to their well-being.

Based in the Bay of Islands, I manage a bustling equestrian property where I produce sport horses and continue to work with wild horses. My program, The Wild Horse Masterclass, aims to educate and guide enthusiasts in understanding horse behaviour and the art of taming.

Through workshops, clinics, and presentations, I share insights on taming methods for wild horses, eventing, and jumping techniques. My focus on both riding skills and horsemanship has helped riders achieve better performance-based results and deepen their bond with their equine partners.
