Michael Langford Michael grew up in Northumberland where he first experienced Quarter Horses and Western Riding at the age of 14. A move to the Isle of Skye in 2001 offered him the opportunity of working and training at Portree Riding Stables, where he gained Scottish Vocational Qualifications levels II and III. During this time, Michael continued his interest in Western Riding through the training of his own Quarter Horse mare. In order to further develop his Western career he decided to move to the South of England in 2004. |
