Hannah spent her childhood surrounded by Fell Ponies growing up on her parents stud in Cumbria, but had always naturally felt a pull towards horses and more specifically racehorses. Her first introduction to the racing world was working for Martin Todhunter before heading to Newmarket where she attended the British Racing School. She developed a keen interest for breeding and bloodstock and made the move to the world renowned Highclere Stud where she met Brian and gained invaluable experience working with youngstock and older horses alike. After two years at Highclere, Hannah travelled to Australia spending three months preparing yearlings for Coolmore Stud before heading to Lambourn to join Brian. She also spent three months in 2016 in America working for trainer Graham Motion. Hannah is completely dedicated to the horses and prides herself on maintaining high standards in all areas. Her passion for the industry is unwavering.
