It's not unusual for Helen to watch the sunrise on the beach.

She does fitness work for eventing with her horses on the nearby beach, not far from Swansea. What a wonderful way to start the day and it gives an insight into the passion that Helen holds for horses.

Riding since she was around 4 years old, she has ridden and groomed for both an International Dressage rider and eventer. Helen has always ridden, alongside her developing career as an award-winning saddler, lecturer in saddle fitting and she is also currently the President of the prestigious Society of Master Saddlers.
