Competing with two main horses, Angela rides dressage Level 8 on Ruanuku R (Ru) and also has a lovely eventer Lyrical (Lilly).
A full time equestrian, Angela combines competition with her work as a national coach.
Angela has competed at 4* previously on many horses - including the famous Gandalf, who was sold to Mark Todd to take to the Olympics, and Song, Lyrical’s half sister.
Angela rides Ru in an Albion Revelation dressage saddle. Lilly is in a Albion Platinum SLK for her dressage and an Albion Revelation for jumping.
A great admirer of Ingrid Klimke, Angela began riding at eight and competing at twelve. Since then she has racked up numerous placings and wins, including one day champs in 1* 2* and 3* eventing.
