About Jody

Jody previously served as a Lance Bombardier in the Kings Troop and is a highly successful military race rider, having raced for over 20 years. He has extensive experience in training horses for P2P and Hunter Chasing. In addition, he competes as an international event rider up to Advanced level, where he excels in the cross country phase, rarely finishing outside of the optimum time.

Jody now has his sights firmly set on moving up to competing at 5* and is currently actively looking for new horses to compete, (naturally ex-racehorses also considered!).
