Lucinda Stewart, Show jumping
Lucinda Stewart (23) has been riding all her life, joined British Showjumping when she was seven-years-old, jumped on Scottish pony teams and qualified for Hickstead and HOYS. ‘I’m lucky to have some special horses on my team and am achieving all my goals and dreams with them,’ she said. ‘I’ve had Cancun for 18 months and produced him to 1.30m level. I’ve had Con for seven years now and he‘s won everything there is to win for me at amateur level (up to 1.25m). Cascara is my seven-year-old that I’ve had for three years and has qualified for the B&C at the Royal Highland Show. I’ve had Glow for five years and produced to 1.30m level. ‘Recent results are winning the amateur grand prix, and the small and large amateur tour at Le Mans, and Dinard, in France. By the end of the year I’d like to have jumped some 1.40m tracks.’ eqymagazine.com 2017

Louise Kaiholm is based at the Chariots of Fire Carriage Driving Centre near Lockerbie and moved from her native Denmark several years ago to improve her English and work with horses. She has a pair of Dartmoor ponies – Icarus and Sinatra – and after being reserve national champions in 2015 they were unbeaten in 2016, winning the British Carriage Driving National Open Pony Pairs title at Cirencester. ‘They are 11 and 13-years-old and have been driving together for six years. Last year at the National Championship they were the fastest pair competing and only beaten on the marathon by three single ponies,’ explained Louise. Already this year Louise has been reserve in the national indoor tandem pony championships and will compete the pair in the advanced pairs class. ‘The late Amanda Saville helped me a lot and now at the centre we continue her good work,’ added Louise, who coaches carriage driving.
