James's innovative approach to training, focusing on understanding and communication, has not only brought him and Ellys accolades but also the admiration of his hometown.

With plans to develop a training program for other young riders, James and Ellys are set to inspire a new generation of equestrian enthusiasts. Their story is a testament to the power of dedication, passion, and the extraordinary bond between a boy and his horse.
