Joanna Baxter

I’ve been riding since childhood where I came up through the Pony Club ranks and competed nationally. At university I developed a special interest in bio mechanical research. My specialist areas are dressage, show jumping, cross country and equitation teaching. and I’m involved with the British Horse Society standard setting.
