"The show was brilliant!
Lovely horses and great riders."
Emma Nuttall
I had a dream - and the dream came true!
I have been riding since the age of 3, and was always mad about horses and books. As a child I read every book and story about horses that I could lay my hands on!
I loved the stories, the journeys and emotions that the horses could evoke, and as my riding career progressed each of my horses characters and personalities helped me ride and understand them better. I am proud to have won classes because the judges have felt that my horses have been happy, relaxed and because of the bond between us.
I have been lucky enough to be invited to ride in several demos and displays over the years, at some beautiful places such as Downtown Abbey and Bolsover Castle and whilst riding I’ve always felt that it would be so much more enjoyable if there was a story behind each of the horses…….and so Bravo was born.
I can only thank everyone who has had faith in me, and my dream and been there through thick and thin, and to each and everyone that has come to watch The Bravo Show.
