Alex graduated from University of Leeds in 2016 and joined H&H in January 2018 as showing editor and features assistant. This was following a stint working as a technical writer at an agricultural magazine where she was responsible for reporting on topical livestock issues, extensive shows and sales coverage and providing timely advice for farmers to implement on farm.

She has freelanced for specialist equestrian magazines including The Native Pony Magazine and has contributed to the National Pony Society annual journal for the past few years.

Born and raised in the Lake District, Alex has grown up on the show scene. She has qualified and competed ponies at the Royal International, Horse of the Year Show (HOYS) and Olympia and has extensive knowledge of current issues in the showing world and the horses, ponies and riders who compete. She has a rare insight into the sector which comes with riding amongst the best at top level.

She has produced a variety of rides to the highest level and has a passion for bringing on youngsters through the ranks. She is also beginning to train as an affiliated judge.

At H&H Alex is responsible for the all aspects of showing coverage and is continuing to cement it’s place as the leading publication for both reports and current showing news.

When not writing, she will be found competing her own Welsh section D and aims to have him at HOYS in the near future.
