Sophie Hilliard
Eventing
Hi, my names Sophie and im a 28 year old nurse (junior sister on the emergency ward). My horse Colin (show name- Silver Leader) is a 9 year old, 15.2hh Connemara cross. I have owned him for the past 4 years now- i got him as a newly backed 5 1/2 year old. Together we do a bit of everything but our main passion lies in eventing! We currently compete at 90 level across BE, riding club and unaffiliated.
My goal is to qualify for Badminton Grassroots for either 2025 or 2026, as well as hopefully stepping up to 100 level next season.
Kiera Bennett
Showjumping
Hi, my name is Kiera, im 22 and work in a small animal vet practice. My horse is also called Keira (show name- Double Trouble) and she is a 13 year old Trotter x Cob! We have been a team for 7 years now; from a lightly backed 6 year old to a bold brace 13 year old. Together we compete in all disciplines, but mainly in showjumping competing at 85-95cm.
Next year i would like to hopefully get out to some more BE's, and just get out and enjoy life together as much as we can.
Monty Threadgold
Polo
Hi, my name is Monty and i am 13 years old- currently enjoying being in year 9 at school. I have 2 ponies- Gavilan who is a 24 year old Argentinian Polo Pony, and Natti who is also an Argentinian Polo Pony; both came over from Argentina when they were 6/7 years old. At home we also have my sisters showjumping pony Tip Top Tia. Me and my ponies play polo together at Hertfordshire Polo Academy.
I am currently -1 handicap on grass and 0 in the arena- i would like to stay at these handicaps for at least another year as i have been given the opportunity to play for some good teams.
Eventually i would like to get to 4/5 goal long term and play semi professionally, but i would also like to go to university.
