‘Claire has instilled a trust between Lottie and me that I never knew was possible, giving us the techniques to handle any situation with confidence. Going to the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics was a huge ask for us, but with Claire by my side we exceeded all expectations and came home with a gold and two silver medals - and most importantly, a very happy, confident horse’
