MEET OUR BRAND AMBASSADORS
AMELIA TANNER
I am a 13 year old young rider from Wiltshire. I am currently competing at 80cm on my
14.2hh Connemara gelding, Ferragh. We have been competing together for just over two
years now and I feel that we are ready to move up to 90cm. I also have a young shetland,
Alfie, I am bringing him on for my two younger sisters. I am hoping to show him in hand
this year. My goals for this season are to successfully make the transition to competing at
90cm, work on a more consistent dressage score, pass my Pony Club C+ badge, introduce
Alfie to the show ring, begin competing in the School Equestrian Games. Long term I want
to compete in BE and work up the levels and I would love to Pony Trial one day. My overall
goal is to have fun with my amazing pony and enjoy our achievements and learn from our
unsuccessful moments.
ZARA BUCKNELL
I am a 12 year old eventer who is competing at 80.I ride to ponies. Cracker who is mine is a
14hh bay gelding and Summer who is owned by Ingrid Smythe and she is kindly letting me
ride her. My goals for this year are to do a few BEs and move up to 90 showjumping.
FINLEY SCOTT
I am a 17yo event rider based in the South West. I have been riding since I was 1 year old and
my highest achievement is winning pony club area eventing on a 19.6 dressage. My current
ride is Bandmastersmaid (aka Roxy). She is a 15.2hh thoroughbred mare. Our main discipline
is eventing unaffiliated and affiliated. We are currently competing at 90/100. My aims for this
season are to be successful at 100 and hopefully step up to Novice in 2022. Alongside eventing I
am a member of British Dressage competing up to novice level hoping to step up to elementary.
RACHEL DAVIS
I’m 33 years old and after a serious riding accident at work 4 years ago where I fell from a horse
which became spooked while I was mounting, i suffered major leg and ankle injuries and then I
became disabled. And shortly before I could even stand up straight I bought my horse Ruby
(Benate) and After initially thinking I wanted to be a dressage rider, Ruby turned me to
showjumping! after a very successful year with her winning several big classes at numerous venues
I’ve just bought my second horse Africa (Dream Girl 2nd). Some of my goals are to win the national para league and also the equestrian graded league, and my big goal is to win internationally and be on a podium with one of those giant bottles of champagne , and of course to raise awareness and encourage disadvantaged persons like myself to get out there and join the sport!
KATIE HATHAWAY
I am 11 years old and I have a 14.2hh ISH called Pixie who is awesome. Our goals are to have fun,
learn more about jumping and to improve our dressage skills. We would like to continue to compete
for Bath Riding club, Tedworth Pony club and my school team. Being an ambassador for Jill Holt
Equestrian makes me feel excited as I want to promote Jill as she is such a amazing teacher!
WELCOME TO TEAM HOLT!
We look forward to working with you all over the coming year
