"Max grew up in Lancashire with his family, where he developed his love of horses, and first came to the Gloucester area when he was accepted as an equine student to Hartpury College in 2015.

"He then went on to complete a degree in Equine Business Management before becoming a member of the equine staff at the University.

"Max also worked at Renkum Stud in Malvern whilst at University where he made many close friends and from where both his horses came.

"After taking this summer off to compete his horses, Tini and Ammo, at show jumping events across the country, he started his dream job at Brendon Stud near Brighton.

"Max was a popular individual who had many friends and was loved by both his peers and colleagues alike.
