PAST

Tessa Spencer Starting her equestrian career in 1984 Tessa Spencer trained in Germany with Rosemary Springer and in the UK with Alan Doxy & Capt. Jim Fox, who was a gold medalist in the Montreal Olympics. She quickly went on to acquire considerable competitive experience at international level. The highlights of her professional career include Breda and Boekelo in Holland, Boris in Ireland, Burghley in the UK and finally culminating at Badminton Horse Trials in both 1990 and 1991.

PRESENT

Since retiring from competitive eventing herself, Tessa has continued to specialise in the discipline. Many of her students have gone on to compete in major events or to work with highly respected equestrian personalities, whilst she and her team have regularly produced successful competition horses. Tessa has continued to compete in other areas herself including; showing, show jumping and dressage.

Now at the Cliveden Stud students both train towards their exams, and are encouraged to compete to widen their equestrian experience and knowledge. The stud is also breeding a selection of competition horses from the resident stallions, whom it is hoped can go on to be at the top of their game.
