Sarah grew up as an active member of the Cambridgeshire Hunt Branch of the Pony Club (PC). She represented the branch at Area level in Dressage, Showjumping, Horse Trials and Tetrathlon and competed at both the National Tetrathlon and Dressage Championships. She passed her Pony Club A test in 1997 and went on to gain her BHSAI. Sarah worked on several International yards, and then returned to the family farm in order to set up her own business, Firs Farm Equestrian, a training and livery yard and base for her own competition horses. Sarah is a freelance instructor and trains riders of all abilities. For several years she was trainer for the Cambridgeshire PC Dressage and Horse Trials teams, and is now Chief Instructor for the Puckeridge Hunt Pony Club. She is also involved in the training of the very successful Huntingdon and District Riding club junior teams. Sarah's first love is eventing and she has competed to CCI 2* level. She is currently campaigning home-bred horses from Intro to Advanced and also competes horses for other owners. Competing at dressage and show jumping through the winter months helps with the education of the young horses.
Chris Smith has recently joined the team and will be based with us at Firs Farm for at least the next 2 years whilst he is on sabbatical at Cambridge University . Chris is an accomplished Event rider from Australia who has produced many event horses, mostly thoroughbreds from off the track. He has consistently been competing at Intermediate and Advanced levels for the past 14 years and spent time in 1996 training with Ian Stark. Chris' expertise will be used to aid in the identification of future talent and to assist in team management. Performance Highlight
Chris is now keen to get back into competition and is looking to take on selected outside rides.

Emily Barbour Emily is an active member of the Cambridgeshire Hunt Pony Club, and though still in full time education can be found helping around the yard most evenings, weekends and in the holidays. Her young horse is stabled with us and Emily plans to event him this year.
The team would not be complete without mentioning Geena - Beannie to her human friends. This large grey Lurcher thinks that the Horsebox is provided primarily for her own use and loads herself at the first suggestion that the vehicle might be going out. She attends all events and has many canine friends on the eventing circuit.
Firs Farm Equestrian is a family run business and takes pride in both its reputation and the high standard of care for its horses and facilities.
