This is Slingsby’s Steph Robson competing at the Grassroots championship held at Badminton on 1 and 2 May 2013.
She is riding ‘Tina’s Gold’. Steph bought him as a young unbroken horse and trained him herself.
Steph came fifth in her class at the Grassroots championship, which is open to qualifying winners from eventing trials from all over the country. It takes place over the course on the first three days of Badminton Horse Trials.
Our thanks to Margaret Mackinder for this story.

Interesting to see the two photos of Gemma Sayers riding Kingdom Cruise – her horse seems to have instantly gone grey with fright at the sight of the fence!
