Likewise, Sarah has an impressive CV of her own, formerly as a point-to-point jockey and latterly in British Dressage where she has enjoyed success initially on homebred retrained racehorses working up to Advanced level. With her focus turning to Somerwood, Sarah has taken a step back from high level competition and is enjoying producing her homebred youngster, Madeleine who is by the World & Olympic Dressage Champion, Glamourdale.
