JASMINE BIGG

Owner/Coach

Jasmine is a 1st Class BSc Equitation Science (Hons) degree qualified individual, as well as BHS and UKCC Qualified.

Jasmine has competed in British Eventing for almost 10 years, up to Novice Level, and has broken in and schooled many different horses across the years, many of which now have competition homes across the country.

For the last three seasons Jasmine has had a horse called Galando and together they have competed in affiliated eventing, with many wins during 2018 and 2019 in both BE80 and BE90 classes, featuring in Horse and Hound and British Eventing magazines along the way .

Jasmine was chosen to represent the South West in the British Eventing Regional Team Challenge 2019 in Shropshire where she was placed 4th Individual and contributed highly towards the South West being crowned the 2019 Rowen Barbery inaugural BE90 Regional Team Challenge winners.

Jasmine enjoys teaching all ages of riders from the very youngest to her older clients no matter what their ability!
