Born in 1993, Maidstone, Kent, Tom grew up surrounded by horses. As an active member of the Ashford Valley Pony Club his career in eventing started early, and during his teenage years he combined this with hunting at the weekends. After completing his GCSEs with a sports scholarship at Bethany School, Tom went to work for Sasha Pemple and spent the next two years gaining experience breaking and schooling young and troublesome horses. In 2012, Tom joined Dassett Eventing which was a fantastic opportunity, not only to develop his riding whilst competing a string of young horses but to take the next step to managing and running his own yard.
After spending a year at Dassett Eventing, Tom decided to go for it and set out on his own with a yard in Kent. At the beginning of the 2019 season, Tom and Sabrina moved to Surrey with his current string of horses.
