Hayley also has joined Anna in the office, so you may well speak to her on the phone. She has an Equine background and finished her Zoology BSc at Cardiff University in 2008 with 2:1 honours. Her course was based mainly on animal behaviour with her dissertation focused on equine parasite resistance and their control. Hayley has competed in endurance riding for a number of years, achieving the South West Novice Award in 2002 with her horse Modern Jazz and subsequently qualifying for Advanced level in 2003. It is no suprise that she is especially interested in equine fitness and performance. Her main hobbies as well as horse riding include sport and travelling. She has experience as a polo groom in Australia, a research assistant on a nature reserve in Botswana and has also ridden over 100 miles across reserves in Kenya. In the future Hayley is hoping to qualify as an equine sports massage therapist and compete in endurance at FEI level.
