TRAINER & JOCKEY

Ross’ passion for riding started at a young age and his racing  career wasn’t far behind. His first race was pony racing in 2007 on his 13.2hh pony, Cherry. From this point onwards it was clear racing would play a big part in Ross’s life. Upon completing school Ross attended The British Racing School in 2010 to complete his NVQ Level 2 in race horse care, Ross went on to attain his Amateur Jockey Licence and ride for multiple well-known trainers with 50 rides, 14 of these rides placing. When COVID-19 hit, amateur racing was stopped due to guidelines in place, Ross made the decision to step away from amateur racing to focus on training and riding point-to-point horses. Throughout his Point to Point career Ross has ran in 345 races, winning 22 of these and placing in a further 110 races and is looking forward to the upcoming season.

Jess is a successful dressage rider and spends many hours teaching and was very new to Racing when she met Ross in March 2023. Since then she has become heavily involved in the business and liaises with club members, organising yard and social events. She also manages the social media and website with the support from Ross. In addition to this she can also be regularly found on the yard providing support with the horses, ensuring they are all happy and healthy.

When not following Ross round the yard she can be found with Jess at the gallops or the arena providing ground support when Ross is training. Otherwise she can be found in front of the fire in the house helping with business admin.
