Riding for different trainers gave Simon a great insight into training and seeing how different trainers did different things. Simon has been training a small string of both National Hunt and Flat horses for the past 14 years and takes great pride in how he has improved horses. In his own words: "Our main aim is to have our horses fit, healthy, happy, sound and very well educated in all they do which can only lead one way - to success".
