Olivia Rogers and Foxhounds Folly’s Dream (Folly)

Olivia started riding at the age of 3 months old, Olivia lives at Foxhounds and has always been around horses.  Olivia has 2 ponies Folly and Roger.  Folly and Olivia had many 1st places last year, they competed at Showing, Dressage and Show Jumping.  They often compete in team events and the pair have a very close bond.

Olivia goes to see Folly and Roger every morning before school, to say good morning to the ponies and feed them an apple.  Olivia and Folly have already qualified for 1st rounds of Trailblazers in both Intro and Premlin.

Roger and Olivia are a new combination and they are both still finding their feet together but we are sure they will be a combination to watch in the future.

Jan & Mick Mayers and Just Jack and Mr Twist  (Jack & Oliver)

Jack is a 14.2hh Section D who is full of self importance and like all welshes, has a sense of humour when being ridden.  He is 24 years old (but does not realise that) and has been owned by the family since January 2008.  Jack excelled at jumping with Jan & Mick's daugther, Megan over a 5 year period, but then had to calm down to accomodate Jan when Megan went off to College and University.  Jan and Jack can often be seen at the front of the pack over the pit.

Oliver is a 16.3 hh 20 year piebald cob cross.  He has been owned by Mick for 7 years.  He is a gentle soul with humans, but likes to be the boss in the field.

Both Jan & Mick are a permanent feature at shows and can often be seen supporting and assisting the younger members of Team Foxhounds, either with loading, reading of dressage test or just cheering them on.

Amellia Grundy and Another Chance (Jango)

Amellia is 15 years old and her horse is Jango.  Jango is a 15.3hh bay thoroughbred, he was bred for racing but did not make the grade.  Amellia has had Jango for a year after loaning him as a 6 year old then falling helplessly in love with him that she brough him.  Amellia has been riding on and off since she was 5 and enjoys hacking and schooling.  Amellia and Jango have learnt a lot togehter and completed many first together such as cross country (Jango does not like water), dressage and jumping shows, even getting a 1st place in 50cm jumping at their first ever show together.  This year they hope to do their first beach ride, have lots of days out hacking and are going to complete the Windsor fun ride in may, and they may do a few shows.
