Former jockey Tjade Collier has had a turbulent time since quitting the saddle, but he has turned back to his passion of racing to start a new chapter as a trainer.
After serving a suspended prison sentence for robbery, Collier is starting afresh and laying down foundations for what he hopes will be a successful training career.
Collier, who since stopping riding in 2011 has also run a cafe in his native Holland and worked for Winx's trainer Chris Waller for six months in Australia, has set up base at his future mother-in-law Vicky Walker's Salter Royd Equestrian Centre in Wilsden, West Yorkshire.
