Acute attention to detail
Emma has an acute attention to detail, and photographic memory which has proved invaluable in her work with the yard and the competitions. On top of caring for the horses making sure they perform their best Emma also has an important role on the carriage for all three phases.
Emma is responsible for the core teams of competition horses on the yard, essentially 20 horses, along with the young horses coming through. Taking care of so many different individual horses has its challenges but in return, it has taught her a great deal. According to those supporting her nomination, Emma has a bond with all the horses and sees to their individual needs, whether from a veterinary perspective, or any other grooming need, she has it all under control.
