Para sport is never a solo effort. These are the people who keep Amanda, and her horses, on the road.

Louise Robson

Trainer, Thoroughbred Dressage

“Lou” is Amanda’s long-time trainer. She retrained Kirkstall Spirit (“Timmy”) into what Amanda calls “a proper para pony”, ready for his Grade I debut in 2026.

Charlie Parker King

Back-stepper, on Facebook

In para driving the back-stepper rides on the back of the carriage, balancing it through the hazards and ready to help with the whip and brakes. Charlie was on the back step at the 2025 World Championships.

Amy Parker

Groom

Amanda’s best mate, confidante and stand-in groom on show days. Equally handy with a hoof pick and a pep talk.

Jack Hinks

Sports therapist, The Hinks Clinic

“Jack has been treating me for a number of years and has helped me through more injuries than I can count!”

Maxine Bryce

Performance coach, Maxine Bryce

“In just a few short sessions Maxine has transformed the way I think, train and prepare for competitions.”

Gym, Nuffield Health Milton Keynes

“Nuffield Health provide the perfect environment for me to train and maintain the mobility and function that I do have.”
