M.S. TEAM - Key Persons


Amy Akehurst

Job Titles:
  • Head Girl
Amy joined the team in 2021, coming from fellow 5* rider Tom Crisp's yard. Amy brings a wealth of experience and fitted in straight away, no least due to her love of doughnuts!

Dean Murray

Job Titles:
  • Chief Funding Provider'
Dean has the very crucial role of providing the funding for M.S. Team Eventing! Dean tries to attend as many competitions as possible, even if he does spend a lot of time getting shouted at for getting in the way! He believes himself to be a bit of a 'trainer extraordinaire', although he is often quite helpful at spotting what can be improved in competition. Dean also likes to pace and was even told to stand still at Burghley when he paced during the whole of Imogen's dressage test. Very rarely does he actually watch the 5* cross-country round. Dean is usually found pacing outside the TV tent, glued to the radio commentary!

Scarlett 'Scarly' Wills

Scarlett came to M.S. Team 3 seasons ago, as a Level 2 Apprentice from Moulton College. After a baptism of fire in her first week she decided to stay and in her 1st year she won Apprentice of the Year from Haddon Training. Scarlett may have moved on to follow a career away from eventing but she remains part of the team and regularly returns to help around the yard and exercise horses when Imogen is away competing.

Tim King

Job Titles:
  • Groundsman / Future Husband
Tim plays many roles around the yard, fixing things (breaking them as well!), maintaining the ground, as well as playing the very important role of future husband.
