Biography

Amanda Derbyshire

Amanda grew up in a small town in Lancashire, England. Her mother, Julie, was always passionate about horses, and this sparked Amanda’s interest as a young girl.

In her Junior/Young Rider Years, she won her first Grand Prix in Istanbul, Turkey, as well as a second-place finish in the Young Rider Grand Prix at the prestigious Olympia Horse Show in London.

Since 2010, Amanda has worked for the Gochman family, running Baxter Hill Farm alongside her fellow colleagues. The most recent and rewarding win was being part of Great Britain’s Team for the CSI4* Nations Cup at WEF in March 2018 aboard Luibanta BH.
