Team Levett
I would like to introduce you to ‘Team Levett’ as although I ride the horses, without them I’d not be able to keep the show on the road. I hope you get a flavour from my blog of the variety of activities and level of detail that goes on behind the scenes to run a successful event yard. Whether it be the planning that goes in to tailoring the competition plans for each and every one of the horses, or working out the personalised fitness and training programmes for each horse, or the feeding and shoeing programmes, no stone is left unturned and the detail is constantly revisited in order to try and ensure both the horses and I are ‘set up for success’.
My team is critical to my success, everyone plays their part and all involved are equally important.

 Nick Deacon (our camera-shy farrier in the photo), Maggie Turner and Annabelle Gait (equine physios for Little Charingworth), Anna Johnson (equine physio at competitions), Grant Chanter (equine dentist), Tom Campbell and Spike Milligan (vets).They are all critical members of the team who we’ve worked with for a long time, more than ten years in most cases, and who help to keep the horses fit and well.

| Gareth Hughes (dressage trainer), plus Ros Morgan (show jumping) give me help on the flat and over fences as I believe I’m constantly learning and need help to try and continue to improve and refine my riding skills and understanding/partnership with each of the horses I ride and produce. |
