All our horses are shod by Lyle Evans. As the adage ‘no foot, no horse’ makes plain, no yard can succeed without the help of a good farrier. Lyle keeps all our horses’ feet in top condition and works closely with our vet where needed.
Izzy Taylor Eventing is proud to be supported by a trusted team of top professionals, each bringing exceptional skill and experience to the sport. Lyle Evans, our farrier, ensures every horse is perfectly balanced and competition-ready. Veterinary care is overseen by Jodie Daglish, whose dedication keeps our horses in peak health. For dressage, Izzy works with renowned trainers David Trott and Ian Woodhead, both instrumental in developing precision, balance, and rhythm. For Show jumping coaching she is assisted by Philip Surl, whose clear insight and technical expertise help fine-tune performances.
This outstanding team is at the heart of Izzy Taylor Eventing’s success.
