What a great weekend at NIF 2026. Polly and Chicco stood Reserve Champion in the 133cm Working Hunter Pony Festival Final. So proud of all her hard work. She loves her ponies and the good days mean so much to us all. Thanks for all the support from all our friends on the day especially Chicco’s first mother Kirsty Green.

Follow Maeve Sheridan and Pronto's journey to this year's Grassroots Final at Badminton Horse Trials.
Very best of luck! 🍀

So this week we are going to introduce you to all our demo riders for Saturday night at the Pippa Funnell Masterclass.

First up we have Maeve Sheridan:

I am the fifth child of six children from a completely non-horsey family, and for some unknown reason I was obsessed with horses from the age I could talk. My parents eventually relented and let me join a riding school when I was 10. This was on an island in north Donegal so we learned to ride on roads and on the beach, and did all our schooling and jumping on the same beach.

I did a degree in physiotherapy and a masters in veterinary physiotherapy so I could work with horses and horse riders. But I didn’t get my own horse until I was in my early thirties. I did a bit with him, a beautiful big ex steeplechaser, but then had two kids and just hacked a lot whenever I could get a spare hour. I lost him after six years and then bought an Irish horse and started to slowly get back into jumping.

After a few gins I signed up for the wobbleberry challenge, went on a very steep learning curve, and crawled my way round a BE80 at the age of 39. Then I was hooked! I did a few BE90s (slowly) over the next few years with the same horse, but it wasn’t his favourite thing and so I sold him to a lovely hacking home and went to look for my new event horse.

I very quickly realised that what I wanted and needed were at least double my price range and then happened upon an advert for a newly backed 3 year old that I liked the look of and could afford, flew to Ireland on my own to try him and the rest is history.

Pronto is a complete gem, half Irish draught and half thoroughbred with a lovely brain and a forward attitude. When he was five we did two BE80s and two BE90s. And then last year we did eight events and had a pole at each until the last one, the Scottish Champs at Scone, where we managed our first double clear and scraped a ticket to Badminton Grassroots Championships. We are currently counting down the weeks until this, and in full throttle training mode!

My aim is to complete at Badminton and have a good time, and then hopefully move up to do my first BE100.

Never a truer word said, the personality is usually the most important part, the brain they have what they are willing to do for you, often matters more than ability, ask any of the top riders.

Sometimes you have to walk through the fire to understand what warmth feels like. You go through the heartbreaks, the breakups, the lonely nights where you wonder if love was ever meant for you.
Every wrong turn teaches you what you don’t want. Every broken piece shapes you into someone stronger, someone who knows their worth. And then one day… you meet the one who makes all that pain make sense. The one who doesn’t just love the best parts of you, but the scars too. The one who feels like coming home after being lost for so long.
You realize every goodbye, every heartbreak, every tear was only leading you here. To them. To your better half. It’s in those moments of pain that you learn what you don’t want, what you won’t settle for, and what love truly should feel like. Every goodbye, as much as it hurt, was really a step closer to the person who was meant to stay.
When you meet your better half, suddenly it all makes sense. The heartbreaks weren’t punishments. They were lessons. They carved out space in your heart for the kind of love that feels like home, the kind that doesn’t just complete you but makes you better.

Sometimes the detours are the path. And every broken piece is just shaping you for the person who will hold them gently
