When you’re passionate about something it shows in your work and Jo developed her passion for horses and riding at the age of 9.  Falling off her horse back then, spurred Jo on to improve and develop a relationship with each of the horses she rode.  She now uses that approach with the riders and horses that she trains, believing that horses teach us how to ride and for that teaching to be successful, each horse needs to trust and respect their rider.

“If you want to work in the industry, you need to learn the trade with a good rider, who’s a good trainer who gives you that communication of how to talk to the horse, how to work when things get tough and that management of the horse” Jo Winfieldequine expert

Jo’s educational background has taken her from a National Diploma in Horse Management at Warwickshire College to BSc (Hons) Equine Science at Hartpury University, MSc in Coaching Science to being awarded a Professional Doctorate in Sport and Exercise (PDSE) by University of Gloucestershire.  You can read more about her research here

Her other achievements include Eventing to intermediate level, Showjumping at Foxhunter and Dressage at Medium Level.

Jo was awarded Fellowship of British Horse Society and is now eager to assist others in their journey through the BHS career pathways.  Jo’s passion for horses means that she wants to encourage others to develop a successful relationship with their horse and succeed, whether that is through an equine career or as a leisure pursuit.
