Name - Teagan Summers
I have been riding since the age of 3 and am an active member of Hertfordshire Hunt Pony Club as well as British Showjumping.
I have two ponies a 12.2 named Princess Mia who is not yet affiliated and a 13.1 named Little Jessie who is affiliated.
In the past I have competed in many local shows, where I have taken part in showjumping, showing and dressage. I have had various amounts of success in all of the disciplines but now tend to spend most of my time showjumping.
My goals for the coming year are to press on with my affiliated showjumping with the main aim being to jump at Pony of the Year next easter.

Name - Michelle Prentice
For three years I studied at Oaklands College attending the National Certificate in Horse Care and Management, achieving a Distinction overall, and the National Diploma in Horse Management achieving a Distinction/Merit/Merit. I have also attained my BHS stages up to stage 3 in both care and riding along with the PTT. I have just completed my 500 hours of teaching, which now enables me to be an AI.
I have been competing in affiliated showing classes since 1998 with a friends Dartmoor Pony, Briars Money Spinner and later in 2004 started to compete my own Section D Trevenning Morning Glory to a very high standard being the only person to win my age section in the Harry Hall Best Rider for 3 consecutive years. One of our aims is to continue this with Oakville Red Ruby next year. I then went on to gain champion Heritage at the Royal County of Berkshire in 2006 and qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show. We also won Herts County that year. At this time I had to make the decision that it would be best to rest my section D after a severe injury to both hind legs.

This year i will be competing my own Welsh Section D Trevenning Morning Glory who is 15 and has in the past gone to the RIHS with me. He has had several years out due to injuries and i have been very busy helping others i decided to let some younger girls compete him who all came home with armfuls of red rosettes with him and a lesson on ring craft from 'Bob'
He is currently being shared by Louise Beaty who has learnt more than a book could teach her from him. They are really looking forward to competeing at Equifest and the Chiltern and Thames finals.
