Born in Oman, Rebecca lived in the middle east for the first 7 years of her life before moving back to the UK. 

Learning to ride in Egypt at the age of 6, when after school, she would ride around the Pyramids, was definitely where she discovered her love for horses and riding.

Having competed in all the various Pony Club activties back in the UK, it then wasn't until she finished her degree at Reading University that she was able to purchase a horse and compete again.

Upon buying a horse (Temmie) from the internet to 'just have some fun on', it didn't take long for them both to realise they loved show jumping. Starting BSJA show jumping and progressing from British Novice to successfully jumping 1.30m classes, they enjoyed winning, being placed and qualifying for a variety of competitions and classes.

In 2009 Rebecca had an opportunity to train with Robert Smith for a few days and noticing their potential, he quickly gave her the confidence and belief to try and make show jumping a career rather than a hobby In January 2010  leaving her job as a water engineer she and her husband Greg, dog JP and all the horses moved to the Netherlands to train full time with Robert. Since then she has won  several classes as well as numerous top placings from 1.20m to 1.45m Ranking Grand Prix's internationally, and successfully competed on the National circuit up to Area Trial 1.50m. She has also enjoyed great success on the national circuit in the Netherlands.

Now back in England full-time, she is continuing to compete across UK & Europe at leading shows, with great results with her young horses, trains a variety of pupils from experienced riders to those wishing to jump seriously, all of this is with massive thanks to support from friends, family and her sponsors, Confero Marketing and Swann Equine Osteopathy.
