The Experience
Join me for an exclusive photography workshop where action, artistry, and equine excellence collide! I’m thrilled to be collaborating with Guillaume Godts and Emily Mitchell, two of the most exciting names in the world of equestrian performance and stunt riding.
Gui is a world-class stunt rider whose credits include House of the Dragon, The Crown, Gladiator, The Witcher, and Snow White. Trained in dressage, show jumping, and cross-country from the age of four, he later transitioned into the high-adrenaline world of trick riding, horseback combat, and high-speed stunts. He’s not just a performer but also a skilled trainer in trick riding, liberty work, and behavioural rehabilitation.
Emily’s journey began in competitive show jumping, but her passion for equine performance led her to the big screen, with stunt and horse-supplying credits in Malory Towers, Albert: The Power Behind Victoria, The Winter King, and more. Trained by Ben Atkinson, she is now a touring trick rider, liberty performer, and co-founder of Inspire Equine Production, delivering breath-taking performances for film, TV, and live events. With a background in dance and physiotherapy, she brings an unmatched level of precision, artistry, and athleticism to her work.
