Team GBR

Kenneth began his own riding school at the age of 16 and competed successfully in show jumping on the national circuit. By the early 1980s he had a talented group of pupils, including Nick Skelton. Kenneth first became involved with eventing when he started coaching British team rider Rodney Powell and supported riders at the 1990 World Games. He has since started the careers of many successful young event riders and has initiated the Steps programme, which trains promising young riders on the edge of national selection.

He was appointed show jumping trainer to the British team in 1997. In 2001 he was awarded the British Horse Society's top teaching accolade, Trainer of the Year. Kenneth has owned and produced many horses, including Mr Smiffy, winner of Burghley in 2000. He lives in Leicestershire and has a daughter, Sophie.
