Ellie Fredericks

Chief Equestrian Officer

Ellie is our main rider, and has competed at Advanced and 4* level, with her sights set on 5* events in the future. She is the daughter of Lucinda Fredericks, a winner at Burghley. Badminton and Kentucky, and an Olympic silver medallist too. As well as being a competitive eventing rider in her own right, winning Bicton 2* in 2024 as well as numerous top 10 placings over the last two seasons, Ellie specialises in developing eventing horses, taking them up through the levels and improving their confidence and ability. Ellie is continuing the family tradition with her own eventing and equestrian management journey.

Mark Stamper

General Manager

Mark has a finance background but has somehow been dragged into the world of horses. He is actually allergic to horses but vaguely tolerates them. Ask Mark anything, provided it isn't about horses.
