NICOLA NICHOLLS -
Team Manager for: Dressage.

Nicola is the lady behind our Dressage teams. She is a hard working member of our committee and makes sure all things Dressage are dealt with and organised smoothly.
She has a lovely cob of her own called Bill who she competes in Dressage and he is fast becoming a Dressage star having regularly competed at Dressage Championship from Trailblazers to Riding Club Nationals. She also competed in a ODE finishing 1st, so Bill can clearly turn his hoof to anything!
Nikki also helps Chris to organise camp and is always on hand with celebratory toffee vodka at events for everyone (which also help with the pre competition nerves too!)
