My Life In Pictures
My Life with animals
Age 1
When I was just one, a baby donkey left its mother and walked right up to me in my pram for some 'love!' I believe it is in moment which sparked my lifelong passion for animals. By the time I was 11, I was already riding and diving into the world of animal behaviour.
Teaching Love at Any Age
At 13, this old horse learned a new trick—giving a hug! It’s never too late for animals to learn, and this moment was a reminder that age is just a number when it comes to building trust and connection.
My First Client.
At just four years old, I had my first client—Jasper, a rescue dog. One day, I overheard a man saying he was going to drown the dog, and without hesitation, I took him away from the situation. My mum didn’t hear the comment, but I knew I had to act. Teaching Jasper to sit, wait, and heel while walking marked the beginning of my deep passion for rescuing and rehabilitating animals. It was a moment that set the foundation for my lifelong journey.
