 Jennie Sharpe 

Jennie Sharpe

 

Jennie Sharpe (@jenniesharpeshowjumper) is an international showjumper and owner of JK Equestrian in the beautiful Northamptonshire countryside. Jennie is UKCC Level 2 British Showjumping qualified for coaching, first aid trained, DBS checked and trained in safeguarding. With over 100 5* reviews and recommendations, it is safe to say all of Jennie's hard work is paying off!

In December 2018, Jennie suffered a life-changing injury and was diagnosed with Cauda Equina Syndrome. After major emergency spinal surgery, her L5/S1 vertebrate had collapsed and crushed her nerve canal, leaving Jennie with permanent damage and a new disability to come to terms with. Jennie was told she would never walk again unaided and definitely wouldn't ride again.

After three spinal surgeries and lots of fantastic support, Jennie is back on board and competing! Jennie is a firm believer in being kind, working hard and supporting everyone, no matter what level they may be.

Kim Chapman

Kim Chapman

 

Kim Chapman (also known as @kick.on.with.kim), is an amateur event rider based in Richmond, North Yorkshire with her 2 gorgeous horses: Dreamer, Indi and Ruby.

Dreamer is her latest horse who she is bringing on. He is a 4yo Connemara who she is hoping to produce to be a Riding Club or Event pony.

Indi is Kim's retired eventer who she has owned for an incredible 12 years. He took Kim through Pony Club, riding club then onto British Showjumping and British Eventing. Indi is certainly Kim's horse of a lifetime but in 2018, when his arthritis worsened, Kim made the difficult decision to retire him.

Then there's Ruby, an 8 year old, registered Irish Draught chestnut mare. They have been in partnership since August 2021 and have done some competing in British Showjumping and Riding Club competitions. 

 Kerry Howard & Luke Howard (BoysRideToo Magazine)

Kerry Howard & Luke Howard

 

BoysRideToo Magazine was conceived by Finn and Luke, friends who have grown up riding together and their mums, Heather and Kerry, who made friends in the infant school playground. Because there was no publication available that catered to, or represented the boys as young guys who enjoy horse riding, they wanted to produce something to challenge the stereotype that ponies are the domain of little girls. Together the two families have created a magazine that has been enthusiastically welcomed and enjoyed by many boys from age 3 to adult in the past 18 months. It is aimed primarily at boys aged 6 - 14 years old but also appeals to those outside the age bracket and is read by girls too!

The name BoysRideToo is inspired by content on Instagram and by other parents who had previously highlighted the sometimes lack of support and encouragement for boys who ride. After the launch of the magazine in 2021, many boys and young men came forward with stories about the negative experiences they have, often with peers, who bullied them because of their riding. The magazine is focused on providing a positive, inclusive publication which promotes all aspects of horsemanship and showcases equestrian activities to boys at all levels and across all disciplines. It is very important to us that all boys with an interest in horses feel included whether they just hang out with ponies, ride, drive, hack or compete.

Finn and Luke love their horses and their riding and they along with many readers say that the biggest benefit they have experienced from starting the magazine is the community interaction - learning about all the different equestrian sports and activities that are out there and connecting with lots of other boys with the same passion as them, something they have not experienced before.
