Dressage training from international dressage rider, Sophie Taylor.
If you don't know Sophie this is her journey so far......
I’m a 24-year-old international dressage rider with a passion for horses. I’ve been riding since I
was little and have experience in all areas of riding, including jumping and showing. I’ve won
several prestigious competitions, including the HOYS and Royal International show hunter
pony class.
I’ve also been fortunate enough to train some amazing ponies, like George Clooney B.S. whom
I brought on from a 4YO. He’s a true champion and he successfully scored over 70% at the
European Championships in 2018 and went on to win European gold medals with Abigail Gray.
He’s now living a happy life in Sweden!
In 2017, I won European team bronze on Becky Moody’s pony, Madams Miss Maria. That was
a huge achievement for me!
I’m currently training my top horse, Jerrydale, who I’ve had from a 4-year-old and now we are
at Inter II level. I’m hoping to reach the European Championships in Hungary this year in the
U25 Grand Prix and am about to debut at my first U25 International for GB at Hartpury. Training
is my passion, and I love helping people improve their horses!
I have been lucky over the years to receive lots of guidance and training from top riders
including Gareth Hughes and Becky Moody along with 5-star international dressage judges
including Peter Storr and Isobel Wessels.
