Hi my name is Laura Ridley, I am 18 currently studying A levels at school in Hexham in the hope of going on to study Animal Science at Newcastle university in September 2014

I ride a 15.2, 9 year old warm blood mare called Polly and we regularly compete out BSJA, she has gained all her double clears in British Novice for 2nd rounds 2014 and we need to get more Discovery clears and shall hope to be starting Newcomer classes in the summer! Polly started her showjumping career relatively late so is still learning and progressing In BSJA juniors when I was 15 and 16 years old, I was lucky enough to earn a fantastic ride on my pony Millie. Together we achieved only what dreams are made of, competing and achieving at the European trials and being only a few places from qualifying HOYS to jumping a Derby in Wales through a devils dyke and down off a bank :)she truly was a pony of a lifetime and she is my inspiration to keep going and teaching Polly all what she taught me.

I am currently sponsored by Redwolf Equestrian and enjoy promoting the business as well as their products. I'd definatley reccomend them whether it be a treat for yourself, a friend, family member, horse or even dog!

I hope I can help to answer any questions you may have regarding general horse care and welfare or top tips when out competing I hope to keep you all up to date with how Polly is and where we are next competing
