Brand Ambassadors

Chantelle Oliver-Symonds - Dressage, UK

 

Stadmorslow Coffee n Cream (Harvey) is a 15hh, 20yo Appaloosa x Welsh D gelding who Chantelle bought in 2010 as a happy hacker. After trying some low level eventing they turned their attention to dressage in 2012 and have since gone from Prelim to Grand Prix competing at multiple Area Festival Championships, Winter Championships, Premier Leagues, High Profiles and been on numerous Home International teams. They stepped up to the elusive Grand Prix level earlier in the Autumn this year and enjoyed great success, especially in the music gaining 66%!

 

Harvey has a browband for every day of the week (plus spares!) but his current main one is our Gold Quartz and Crystal 1/2" Preciosa crystal browband. Find it here:  https://thebrowbandboutique.co.uk/product/gold-quartz-and-crystal-1-2-preciosa-crystal-browband/

Chloe Marsh - dressage, eventing and side-saddle, UK

Chloe has a passion for the art of side saddle riding and together her and Bertie (aka The Cow Pony as he is fondly known as) have been competing side saddle for the last few years. They are now at the highest level of the sport with achievements including:

In 2015 Chloe and Bertie were selected as part of the British side saddle team for the opening ceremony of the FEI European Games at Aachen, Germany. The pair have also performed at Blenheim International Horse Trails for a number of years, showcasing the stunning art of side saddle.

Sadly, the wonderful 'Cow Pony' has been retired from competition, and Chloe's youngster Marley is now her main focus. This year they have competed in the 'Cotswold Cup' eventing series, qualifying for the championships at Gatcombe where they came an incredible 5th!

Marley has also been introduced to the world of side saddle and we cannot wait to see their journey together.

Marley currently wears our Violet/Tanzanite/Purple Velvet and Crystal AB 1/2" Preciosa crystal browband.  Find it here:   https://thebrowbandboutique.co.uk/product/violet-tanzanite-purple-velvet-and-crystal-ab-1-2-preciosa-crystal-browband/
