HRB Equestrian

  • Tia grew up riding horses. At the age of two she was first sat on a horse by her mum and she never looked back. She started off on Shetland ponies at a riding school close to home in Hertfordshire, before she had her first pony at seven.

    Tia began her competition journey in the showing ring, before she caught the show jumping bug. After a couple of years on her 12.2 pony she moved on to 14.2’s and jumped up to pony foxhunter classes. Her career on horses began at the age of 17 and continued to do this whilst juggling her education plans to become a clinical psychologist.

    At the age of 24 Tia jumped her first 1.30 classes on her trusty full Irish Draft, Frankie. Then COVID hit and competition stopped, she took this time to further herself in her education and worked through the pandemic in the NHS. In 2023, Tia’s father passed away unexpectedly.

    With her Clinical Psychology Doctorate in hand, this gave perspective to follow her dreams and pursue her riding ambitions full time. Fast forward to now, she has a string of exciting horses and has made riding her full time ambition.
