After moving on from a successful start in pony jumpers, including competing for England on more than one occasion, Helen moved to Ireland, where she continued her winning ways. Helen first worked for the top Irish dealer Con McElroy before moving on to ride for Irish Legend Eddie Macken, whom Helen still considers her mentor today. Whilst at The Macken stable Helen was one of the listed riders on the Olympic Young Rider Training Squad as well as being short listed for the Jr.European Championships.

The next years would see Helen in Switzerland and Germany, where she had many wins with all types of horses, winning everything from Grand Prixs' to speed classes, Puissances to young horse classes.
In Switzerland Helen started training the Swiss Junior Eventing Team and then whilst Helen was in Germany she started training riders of all levels. These small lessons soon evolved into Helen training weekly clinics at two different 'Clubs' with up to 45 riders a week! This progressed to Helen giving an 'Olympic Star Spotters' clinic in England.

This teaching 'talent' along with the ability of being able to ride horses of differing temperaments have given Helen a long, successful career in many different countries. Helen returns to England annually to give lessons and clinics.

Helen having trained with some of the best in the business,

Eddie Macken/Ireland, Malcolm Pyrah/ Great Britain, Marcus Maendli/ Switzerland, Ralf Runge/Germany, Helen brings with her a wealth of knowledge.

After having numerous successes in Europe both nationally

and internationally, Helen moved to Florida in early 2000.

Winning with the Lassergut horses in both Florida and Europe.

2002 saw Helen move to California where she has made her home.
