James + Helen Alliston - Featured in Sidelines Magazine - Castro Valley, CA


Husband and wife duo, James and Helen Alliston, photographed for Sidelines Magazine at their training facility in Castro Valley, California. While the majority of the eventing community resides further east, James and Helen have created a successful training operation and competitive career here on the west coast.

I had such a great time getting to know James and Helen during our photoshoot! Read more of James and Helen's story in the March 2024 Sidelines Magazine digital issue.
