She has competed in cross-country events and has enjoyed success with her beautiful dressage horse Eeyore II (see 'One of the Queen's Horses' by Hazel http://www.novapublications.com).

Hazel operates a website business selling her books as digital products and writing about horse training and psychology.

Review :
This book deals systematically with the requirements for the BHS Stage I examination in a clear, comprehensive and practical way. It will prove a valuable reference book for all students. It is often difficult to find all the relevant information for an examination in one book, but I feel the authors have achieved this. The information offered is further enhanced by the friendly manner in which it has been written. This book will have a place for all students whether embarking on a career with horses or wishing purely to further their knowledge of horsemastership. Valerie Lee, BHSI Chief Examiner.
