Meet our sponsored riders who we will be highlighting each week. First up is Imogen Casely and the lovely Stella 😍
My name is Imogen, i’m 15 and i ride Stella, my little 13h welsh C unicorn! Stella is 16, and I got her in November 2019! I’ve always done showing as a rider, and so had stella for the 4 years she’d been backed before we got her. We learnt to jump properly together, and have had great fun and successes at Workers since.
However, when covid hit we decided to try some dressage at our local venue; SNEC. I immediately fell in love, and continued to progress, both stella and I learning at the same time 🥰 In 2022, I was lucky enough to qualify for the Winter Championships at Hartpury, in the Prelim silver and novice bronze U21.
In an absolute dream come true, we won the novice and was third in the prelim! I was over the moon to be able to do a lap of honour in that magical arena 💖 I was also delighted to have Grace there supporting, it made some very special memories that will last a lifetime. More recently, Stella and I have competed at the Royal Windsor Horse Show, in the Pony Club home international dressage teams! What an incredible atmosphere- definitely getting the full experience of that when the Kings Artillery came by 20 yards away in the middle of my test 🥴!! Stella was awesome though to take away second!!
This year i’m hoping to keep the variety for stella (especially the fitness work, we may have a little weight problem 🤣), and our aim is to qualify for the dressage Summer Nationals at novice and Elementary! Very excited about joining the Glendale Equestrian team, thank you Grace and Martin for this opportunity 💜
