Ali Dane
Having ridden from a very early age, Ali was a consistent Petersfield Pony Club team member, competing successfully in dressage, showjumping and eventing. Extensive experience in many different disciplines, ranging from backing and breaking polo ponies in Barbados, to grooming at top shows/ competitions led to an interest in a career with horses. After training with top class eventers, including French team member, Frank Bourny, Ali decided to supplement her equestrian knowledge with a Business Management degree at the University of Brighton.
Ali is now campaigning her talented but 'quirky' TBxWB, Morris at PSG and her sister's horse, Rudi (aka Supporter Z) at Elementary/Medium, alongside a few youngsters and other horses brought to her to train and compete in both eventing and dressage. Ali trains with event rider Bruce Haskell and for dressage, with Adam Kemp and Liz Diegutis. After wide-ranging experience in riding schools, on event yards and freelance, Ali has built up a firm reputation as a knowledgeable and sympathetic rider and trainer. Fully insured, with first aid, Child Protection and CRB certificates, Ali also regularly attends CPD with both British Dressage and The Pony Club.
