ssie Barker has owned horses for over 20 years.  As a child she was member of Stevestone and Torrington Farmers Pony Club and competed BSJA, from there she moved to Holsworthy and District Riding Club and Eventing.  She enjoyed her time in Pony Club and completed her exams up to ‘H’ level, sadly university got in the way before she completed her ‘A’ test.  She has represented the riding club in all disciplines              

(sometimes they will take anyone!) and has been lucky enough to attend National Championships in Horse Trails, Dressage, Show Jumping and Equitation.  She has also spent a season riding Western trained horses in New Zealand and had a dabble with Side Saddle.

orses:
Essie has 2 horses:
Farthings Phoebe.  AKA Phoebe, 14.2hh, Part breed Appaloosa, Chestnut Snowflake, Mare born August 2000.
Diminutive in stature but not in soul!  She may only be small but she thinks she is 19hh, and as a “red headed lady” she certainly has the attitude to match.  Purchased at 18 months in very poor condition but with a healthy distrust of people it has been a long road to where she is now.  A lot of time and patience later, she has matured in to a real star.  Now competing in Affiliated Eventing at Pre-Novice she is a true all rounder.

arthings Spotlight.  AKA Spot, 16hh, full Appaloosa, Few Spot (in other words Grey with one spot), Gelding born 1st April (suits him well!) 1988.
One in a Million.  Having owned this boy for 20 years we have a lot of history together.  At our highest we have competed at Novice level Eventing, BSJA and Elementary dressage but really he is now a true old friend.  A safe horse who is anyone’s ride he is enjoying his semi-retirement introducing people to riding and generally having a jolly time with them!
