X. Danielse
Hi! My name is Xanthe and I have been riding horses since before I could walk. At the age of 6, I got my very first pony Varpullan Wessa. With her I firstly started competing in dressage and now, after six years of retirement, she recently celebrated her 30th birthday.
When I turned 11, I got my pony Iscar. WIth Iscar I grew through all the classes from the start up to international CDIP level. While also competing in Welsh-shows, our primary focus was always on having fun and enjoying the experience. Iscar has teached my everything and has been my partner in crime for over 6 years. However, due to me reaching the age limit, we had to make the difficult decision to sell him last year.
Currently, I only compete with our horse Boris, who has been part of the family for 11 years already. I share him with both my parents, who competed him first too at Small tour level. Over the past two and a half years, we have been gaining experience in regional classes up to the Dutch ZZL level and have been competing in some national Junior competitions.
Apart from my love for horses, I am a full-time Medicine student, and I'm nearing the end of my first year. I have also been volunteering at several dressage and Welsh-shows for several years, where I helped with organisation, handled the secretariat and wrote the judging protocols.
For the past two years I have also been competing at Online Horse Showing, which has been a lovely experience. I am really looking forward to being part of the judging team and to all your beautiful pictures!

Horses have been a part of my life since before I could walk, 27 years into my journey I am still loving every moment.
Having initially started out on a supportive family run livery yard which introduced me to my love of flatwork and producing, I now run my own successful freelance groom, rider & instructor business of which I am lucky enough to work with a wide range of equines in numerous disciplines.
Alongside currently working towards my dream of training to be a British Dressage judge and recognised BD coach I have had numerous opportunities to expand my education including working for an international dressage rider, multiple showing yards and private breeders.
For the past ten years I have competed/groomed/produced both my own and clients horses at county level in the showing world with particular interest in hunters, cobs and small M&M. I hate to sit still and am now in the process of breaking my miniature Shetland mare to drive ready to have my first go at WHIP classes!
L. Oliver
Hi! I'm Laura, and horses have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! I grew up near Chicago, IL (USA) and started taking riding lessons in 1988 when I was 8 years old. In high school, I started working at the stable (grooming and tacking up the lessons horses), and I also had the opportunity to share board a horse named Sherlock Holmes.
I bought my first horse, Dealer (a retired racehorse who was donated to my college), when I was 19, and I owned him for about 6 years. While in college, I was a member of the equestrian team and competed on the Hunt Seat, Dressage, and Western teams. I also majored in Equine Pre-Veterinary Studies for 1 year, but ended up getting my degree in Education instead. A few years after graduating, I moved to Phoenix, AZ and found my current horse, Brontesaurus, when I was living/teaching there. Bronte is a Percheron/Thoroughbred cross and was born at (and eventually rescued from) a PMU farm in Canada. He was 5 years old and barely started under saddle when I bought him.
Over the past 15 years, we have learned and accomplished so much together! We regularly compete in local dressage shows and have earned a USDF Bronze Medal, as well as several USDF All-Breeds Awards. Bronte especially enjoys competing in the Musical Freestyle classes, so I am really looking forward to putting together a 3rd Level freestyle for this upcoming show season. If all goes well, we will also hopefully make our 4th Level debut later this year!
V. Baker
Hi all,
My name is Vanessa and I live on a small farm in Rural New South Wales, Australia. I have been riding horses since I was 5 yrs old and have competed in several discplines including, Pony Club, Show riding, jumping, dressage, campdrafting, sporting and my primary discpline eventing.
My current horse, Rocker is an ex racing thoroughbred who I have owned for 2 and half years. We have made our way up the eventing levels and will be entering our first 2* soon. In addition to eventing, we also showjump up to 1.20m and occassionally compete in Novice-Elementary dressage.
I have sponsored and judged for OHS previously this year, which combined with my experience judging at local shows and pencilling at small dressage competiton, equips me with plenty of knowledge to fairly judge the multitude of classes OHS has to offer. I look forward to seeing all of your equine friends!
V. Whittle
My name is Vianna and I am 20 years old. I am extremely grateful to have been chosen as a judge for OHS.
I have loved horses for as long as I remember, I got into the industry at 10 years old where I helped out at a carriage company and attending weddings, which included having to get the horses ready and hooking them up. I had started to exercise the horses and getting brilliant loan ponies, and I was lucky enough to get my main man Irco Valentino (Scooby) who is a skewbald Dutch warmblood who now 24. Shortly after we found our Appaloosa named Dreamcatcher (Scout) at a local rescue and I have now owned him for 4 years.
At the age of 16 I started to freelance at an international show jumping yard as well as working for a 4* eventer.
I then proceeded to work for an affiliated showing yard exercising the horses and attending shows. At 19 I worked at an Arabian stud farm, breeding international show Arabs, and now work at an equestrian centre, helping set up for shows and clinics.
I brought my third horse at 18, a three year old Polish warmblood called Nebraska which I backed and produced myself.
I had previously competed up to novice dressage and CHAPS UK showing (unaffiliated) as well as small jumping and in hand shows.
But I also enjoy the online photo shows such as OHS.
R. Boyes
My parents knew they were in trouble when they picked me up from my very first day of horse camp the summer I was 6 and I proudly told them that my team had won the stall mucking contest. I started competing at 13 and have been in love with showing ever since.
As a teenager I competed in the Hunter, Jumper, and Equitation divisions at the provincial level in Ontario, Canada, riding mostly young or green horses. When I went off to university I knew that the fun couldn't end there - I joined my school's equestrian team where I competed for six years on the OCEA and IHSA equitation catch riding circuits in both Canada and the United States, and upon graduating became the Co-President of the Ontario Collegiate Equestrian Association as well as working for a horse show management company in a variety of roles.
I have served as a steward at many OCEA shows and had my first experience as a judge when we moved to an online showing format during lockdowns. I then began judging local shows and while unfortunately I have not been able to compete much myself in the last few years, I have enjoyed learning how things work from the other side!
A. Harvey
Hi everyone! I have been riding since I was 3 so for the past 22 years! I have been extremely lucky in my riding journey to have owned/loaned some incredible horses and ponies who have made me into the rider I am today especially my love for showing which I currently do with my soulmate Oliver a 15.1 18 year old cob, we compete in the veteran classes where last show season we won overall veteran champion and working hunter classes. Oliver really is the most fantastic horse and turns his hoof to everything, whether that be show jumping, cross country, dressage and hunting we always get comments at how much of a pocket rocket he is!
Horse riding is my hobby however I am a head girl of a riding school where I have been for the past 13 years, I also have my ride and road safety qualification and ABRS certificates. I am actually a veterinary nurse for small animals, I currently have 2 foster kittens which I hand reared from a day old they came everywhere with me as from 1-3 weeks old they lived in a cardboard box, so they came down to the stables and let's just say Oliver fell completely in love with them! Even though I work predominately with small animals there are cases where I have worked with completely miss treated horses, so welfare is extremely important to me!
I have entered a few classes now with online horse showing and have completely become obsessed with it, but I've always been on the side of being judged so thought I would be the other side of the coin and be the judge (i have judged at local shows and riding school league shows) I am extremely excited about judging and can't wait to start! I really look forward to judging you all and making people happy.
H. Cornford
I don't think my parents knew what they were getting themselves into when they took me, 9 years old, to my first riding lesson on a pony called Acorn. It took precisely 25 minutes to ensure that for the rest of my life, Mum would be worrying about which horse I'd thrown myself off and Dad would always be on standby to drive a lorry to the other side of the country and back (usually at 5am and in sub-zero conditions).
I gained my level 2 diploma in Horse Care and Riding from Bridgewater and Taunton College, have a handful of points with British Dressage, and have competed unaffiliated in most disciplines. The highlight of my riding journey has been to take my now veteran mare to Medium level in the dressage arena, something I had only dreamed of when we wobbled round our first Intro.
Alongside producing my youngster, today I enjoy online shows, which I've realised is just like normal showing, but with pizza and a glass of wine in my hand! As a judge, I aspire to encourage riders of all ages and abilities to progress, feel confident and have a lot of fun through a welcoming online community which I love being a part of.

Hi everyone! I have ridden since I was 8 years old and was instantly hooked. Previously I have shown in veteran classes and working hunter, competed for riding club and at BD and show groomed at county level. I now live in France with my 15hh all-rounder cob, 12.2hh driving cob and rescue Shetland.
I work at a stud breeding dressage horses and have the amazing opportunity to learn on an advanced dressage schoolmaster who I hope one day will make my dream of riding in a tail coat come true!
S. Richmond
Hi, my name is Summer I am 22 years old. I was raised in a non-horsey environment but have worked my way up to competing at county-level shows and now proudly own two beautiful cobs. Showing has always been a true passion of mine and with experience as both a competitor (in both online and physical shows) and an observer i know first hand the efforts that go into getting horses show ready or even just capturing the perfect moments.
I have a diploma in animal management in which I focused my independent studies on equine, I gained valuable hands-on experience as a groom and by helping on a variety of yards but More recently, I have enjoyed teaching children and friends at my yard about showing, from groundwork right through to ridden classes.
I look forward to seeing your amazing bonds through your entries and seeing all your beautiful horses and ponies!
H. Bunting
Hi! I’m Hannah and I’ve been riding for 17 years; I started at the age of 5, when my Mum and Dad thought that letting me help with a friend’s pony would deter me from wanting to do horse riding. Unfortunately for them, the opposite happened, and I loved it!
Over the years I have ridden a huge variety of horses and ponies in a variety of settings, worked on riding school yards, competed for my first university’s development team, and enjoyed every single minute of it (except when I was left in a heap on the floor!).
I am currently on a bit of a riding sabbatical while I juggle a history degree and my business, but I have been able to ride my friend’s baby pony every time I go home, and I’ve also done a few treks at a local equestrian centre.
My current horsey goals are to undertake the BHS Stage exams on the coaching pathway, and, if time allows, pick up riding again on a more regular basis again! I can’t wait to have my own horse, but for now I’m content with living vicariously through the OHS classes!
G. Rooney
I have been around horses since I was born. My mother is a retired Olympic groom who I have learned many tips and tricks from over the years especially turning out and presenting a horse/pony for competition to a high standard.
I compete regularly mainly in dressage and flat showing but now in working hunter and show-jumping. I have broken and produced my own Connemara from a wild 4-year-old to a county-level competition pony. I have just competed at Equifest with my Connemara who placed top 10 in 6 out of 6 classes over 3 days also getting into the prestigious evening performance.
I judge at my local equestrian club shows and steward at county shows. Hoping one day to become a mountain and moorland panel judge. I also volunteer at local horse trials in my area and mix a variety of roles from fence judging, ring steward, scoring, and dressage writing.
My aim for the years to come is to qualify my home-produced Connemara for HOYS (Horse Of The Year Show).
K. Sails
Hi everyone, I’m Kath and I’ve been riding since I was 4 years of age. My wonderful parents bought me my first pony when I was 12 and I owned him until he died in 2006. He’s buried in my field and I wouldn’t have been the rider I am today without him!
I’m now 52 and an English teacher but horses are still my life and better than that my husband loves them too! Having a husband who loves horses as much as me is so amazing. These days we compete at riding club level in show jumping and cross country and sometimes dressage but we are so lucky to live by some spectacular beaches so hacking out is an absolute pleasure.
To me my life wouldn’t be complete without my wonderful Hollyberry a cantankerous skewbald mare who I bought as a 4 year old three years ago. It’s taking a while but we now have a wonderful bond and she makes me smile every day. Horses are wonderful creatures and I can’t imagine life without them.
C. Harding
My name is Charley, I have lived and breathed horses my whole life. I had the privilege of growing up within a horsey family and had my own New Forest Pony growing up. In my more adult life, I have had the pleasure of working in various riding schools including a prestigious school in the heart of the New Forest.
Through my many years with the establishment I worked with all breeds of equines including miniature Shetlands and Clydesdales and everything in between. I feel very lucky to have had the New Forest as our playground and spent many years taking beginners and experienced riders of all ages trekking around the many acres of paradise. I ran and organised the school’s pony club including all their shows and events along with judging the various classes.
During my time I studied and qualified BHS level 1 and streamlined my skills competing in local dressage shows. I now have the honour of owning a gorgeous draft breed gelding Flynn, I found him late 2022 where he was a little rounder than we would have liked, swayed back and very green at age 7. Since then, we have spent every day bonding, playing and working with him to grow his confidence, skillset and help improve his physical health. After a long 9-month trial period my partner and I purchased him, and our family is complete! We have started doing some low-level dressage and in hand showing to help grow Flynn but our favourite activity is still sunset hacking across the forest.
A. Dowra

J. Ashworth
Hi, I’m Jasmine, the creator and owner of Online Horse Showing!
I’ve always been completely horse and animal mad. I grew up surrounded by horses, dogs, cats, rodents and even a few chickens, and got my first pony for my 6th birthday, a rather wild Welsh Section A straight off the Welsh mountains!
At 17, I went on to study Equine Management at college, and over the years I’ve been lucky enough to own lots of different horses.
These days, I get my horsey fix through all the lovely competitors here at Online Horse Showing, while at home I have Mocha, my very spoilt dachshund who you’ll probably hear me mention quite a lot!
When it comes to judging, I look after our free classes and Everyone’s a Winner, alternate between the Champs and Supremes, and occasionally pop up judging other classes too.
