Name   Deborah Jay

Age   Old enough

Where are you from  The UK near London, and the Scottish Highlands when I can spare the time.

A little about your self `ie your education Family life etc  I have a Life Sciences degree, with a special interest in genetic engineering, though my knowledge is way out of date.  In between graduating and the start of a planned PhD, I worked as a horse riding instructor, and somehow never came out of that industry.

Nowadays, I am a freelance dressage trainer, with clients all over the country up to International level. I have represented the UK myself, and currently compete and judge on the national circuit. Being self-employed has the advantage of setting my own hours, although there are never enough of those to go around!
