Meet The Team
We are forever grateful to those that help us keep everything on the road.

MUM
Mum previously competed herself before selling her best horse in order to support me. It has been her side of the family that had always been involved with horses and inevitably I followed suit!
Mum plays a huge part in running Team Tic Toc whilst working full time as well as being being driver and groom at the events. It was Mum that found Ben and is also responsible for the growing number of "Tic Toc" youngstock about the place!

DAD
Also known as "Head Horse Holder" Dad is the brains behind Boultons Arenas & Gallops and I am lucky to be supported by the company and I also now have a growing number of Clients I am teaching who have a "Boultons Arena".

JEANETTE BRAKEWELL
Jan was a member of the British Eventing team for several years and is best known for her achievements with 'Over to You'.
She has been my trainer now for many years (starting with my 14hh WHP all the way through to Burghley). I am lucky to be based near her and am grateful for her advice and guidance and her course walks are always invaluable!
​

TIM DOWNES
Tim is a Fellow of the British Horse Society, a List 1 Dressage Judge, a British Dressage Master Judge, a 5* International 3 day event judge and a British Eventing Master Coach. He is a Chief Assessor for the BHS, a UKCC Assessor and an FEI Olympic Solidarity trainer. Tim has competed in all of the Equestrian Olympic Disciplines and has produced many horses from untrained to advanced levels of competition. He regularly conducts clinics in Ireland, Scotland, Hong Kong, New Zealand in in the UK.
Tim is based at Ingestre where he is also joint owner, I am lucky that he is so local to us and that I can pop over for a dressage lesson - he was a huge part of myself and Tilston Tic Toc's success at 5* level.

STEPH APPLETON
What can I say about Steph! She came into our lives as our equine therapist - regularly visiting from her base in Chelmsford to make sure the horses feel as good as they can be.
She always kept Tilston Tic Toc in tip top condition to be able to tackle the bigger tracks and he always absolutely loved her visits.
Steph has also trained and competed horses to grand prix dressage level and I am grateful for all her help with both Misty and Pip at events not to mention the wonderful food that is cooked up out of the motorhome with hilarious and varied conversations being bandied about!
Always accompanied by her sidekick, Elaine Souter, we are grateful for the fact the two of them travel so far to make sure our horses (and others) are comfortable.

BEN WYLES Dwcf (farrier)
Ben has just joined the team and is always available if we have a problem and manages to deal with the variety of horses we have about from foals to the golden oldies.
