He produced and competed a string of event horses up to the old three-star level and created a breeding program, bringing back a foundation mare from Heath Ryan’s Australian setup. The most successful horse from this now competes at Prix St George in dressage, aiming for the Grand Prix circuit. Following a serious fall when competing, he studied at Cirencester Agricultural College gaining a degree in International Equine and Agricultural Business Management.

Having always followed racing and bred some point-to-point horses, Ollie jumped at the opportunity to work as Oliver Sherwood’s assistant. This coincided with the Many Clouds era, cementing the dream of being a trainer in his own right. Ollie spent two years working and learning the Lambourn gallops before spending a year in America with USA Hall of Fame trainer, Jonathan Sheppard.
