Best known as the creator behind Life on the Left Rein social channels, Tina has built a loyal following by sharing the real, unfiltered side of grassroots eventing, the highs, the setbacks, and everything in between. Tina opens up about getting her first horse until her mid-20s, and the financial and emotional reality of competing as an amateur. She reflects on her partnership with Banksy, the horse who changed everything, from breakthrough wins to building the kind of trust that gets you back in the saddle when confidence takes a hit. From appearing on Horse & Country TV’s All Star Academy, which sparked the growth of her YouTube channel and turned a hobby into a full-time career. With Badminton Grassroots 2026 on the horizon Tina shares the tougher side too. From a serious fall that knocked her confidence, to navigating self-doubt, switching between horses, and the pressure of documenting it all online. She also speaks candidly about her breast reduction surgery, how it impacted both her daily life and riding, and the long road back into the saddle.
