As well as editing the website, I produced news articles and video content, ran multiple social media platforms, assisted with the creation and production of several hit shows and series and reported from many of the biggest equestrian events in the world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517929995976-N44CUE443Q3A3M0R7HYZ/spicer%27s+corner.jpeg Welcome - Freelance writing & editing 2010 to date Since going freelance in 2010, I've written for a huge number of publications, including Horse & Hound, Horse, British Eventing Life, Paces, The Great British Equestrian, Royal Ascot magazine, NFU Countryside, Heels Down and many more. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517935896516-PKURTS866GJ2TKFUFIFV/H%26H+covers.jpg Welcome - Horse & Hound 2004-2007 I applied for a trainee journalist position at Horse & Hound magazine, and after my interview I was offered the position of senior sub editor instead. My main responsibilities were the product pages, fashion and rug shoots, the letters pages and the back page of the magazine, which was home to the award-winning series 'Five I won't Forget' and later 'The Picture, The Story'. It was a brilliant grounding in all aspects of magazine publishing, as I got to write as much as I wanted to, as well as subbing, proofreading and assisting with magazine production. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517929583692-UQBFTJY6DRZQHZQI5NIL/12439084_10156360325415117_901414176481597731_n.jpg Welcome - Hickstead 2010 to date As Press Officer for one of the most iconic showgrounds in the world, it's my job to promote Hickstead and its international events - the Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting and the Agria Royal International Horse Show. As well as running the press office and managing the press team during the events, I send all the press releases, write the eNewsletters, deal with media enquiries, interview riders, manage the Hickstead.co.uk website and run the social media pages. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517935750441-XN97FUF7L9BM6I4BG1A2/Student.jpg Welcome - University 2000-2004 I graduated with a MA (Hons) in English Literature (2:1) from the University of Edinburgh. In addition to my studies, I was a member of the Student newspaper society, where I held the positions of Books Editor and Entertainment Features Editor, as well as writing a number of columns and reviews. I was keen to build my portfolio and gain experience wherever I could, from doing a two-page report in the Scottish Sunday Express and writing for lifestyle glossy Caledonia. I was then offered a place at Sheffield University to study a postgraduate diploma in Print Journalism, but was offered my dream job shortly before I was due to start my course.... https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517786356303-Q6TKQ40MFKR2SBI71UKN/1524901_10153679801845117_196660531_n.jpg Welcome - Equestrian I didn't get much choice about whether I rode or not - my first pony arrived three months before I was born! I was a member of The Pony Club from the age of 7 and spent nearly every weekend at rallies, shows and events. In my teens I began concentrating more on showing and dressage, competing up to County level in the show ring and Elementary level in dressage. I got my first ex-racehorse in my teens and since then have retrained three Thoroughbreds. Hotdiggity, the first of my ex-racers, took me to the Scottish Regionals and Scottish Championships in dressage, With Confidence Trick, I competed at BE90 level in eventing; while my current mare Rosie does a bit of everything, including dressage, showing and combined training. I hold the Pony Club G Test and my BHS Stage Two. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517935945355-06AICSTYOH7WQEJ8GILN/Victoria+Spicer+pic+courtesy+of+Horse+magazine+%26+Steve+Bardens.jpg Welcome - Horse magazine 2007-2010 After three years at H&H I was promoted to Deputy Editor of H&H's sister title, Horse. There I was able to write about a vast number of riding and horse care topics, and I was also in charge of the training section of the magazine - which meant I got to attend lessons with most of the country's top trainers. I wrote the feature interview of each issue, and in-depth profile pieces fast became my favourite thing to write. I also got to develop my management skills and I played a major part in choosing layouts and coverlines. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517787720821-Y6ZOHEY026I60XDMF1HH/VS+homepage.jpg Welcome https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5a774ceb32601ebcc9894e29/1517780534280-U95J1CK0U6R6OHEONG2X/lr-c-0036.jpg Welcome
