Melissa has been riding at red earth for 5 years now and has come on leaps and bounds. 12 months ago Melissa made the change from a pony to a horse. The horse she bought was extremely green and lacked confidence. For the first few months show jumping seemed unachievable.

However with Steph’s advice Melissa learned how to train  her and give her the confidence she needed around a course of jumps this year they have won the season in both 65 and 75cm showjumping at her local riding club and is making massive progress with the 85cm class. She also won supreme showjumping champion for Rochdale and district riding club.
