One of our newer sponsored riders is Hector Payne of HP Eventing.

Hector is based with Ian & Heidi Woodhead and has a small team yet busy and growing yard of horses all competing in Eventing at Various levels. Prior to setting up on his own Hector was based with Fox-Pitt Eventing.  I am currently in the process of looking for sponsors or supporters to join my team and be involved in my new venture. Prior to being based at Fox-Pitt Eventing I used Falcon feed for my team of horses and was very impressed with the condition the horses were in and in their performances. During my time at Fox-Pitt Eventing I was not allowed to be personally associated with any businesses, so I am now looking to establish my own relationships with various companies. I am looking for a company to support and work with me, with the aim that together we can promote one another as much as possible.

Whilst at Fox-Pitt Eventing, I played a large role in managing their social media, aiding them with Facebook posts and newsletters. More recently I have set up my own social media pages, and am in the process of building a website. My following is frequently growing and I find it an extremely important and current way to keep my owners and supporters up to date with everything going on at Hector Payne Eventing, whether it be event reports, training, or general news, as well as generating greater interest through pictures and video footage.

I have been riding since I was 4 years old and got into showing at very young age as discovered my Connemara jumping pony really enjoyed it after a bad past with jumping. As our confidence grew we competed in showing, working hunter, show jumping, cross country. He is my pony that taught me everything I know today. At 16 years old I was extremely lucky to qualify my lightweight hunter for Royal International Horse Show where it was an honour to compete him with some of the best riders in the country. Sadly, shortly after he had to be retired where he lived with me to the grand age of 25.

I decided to do a degree at University in Equine Behaviour and Psychology which reinforced the importance of not only good handling, riding, environment but also how important nutrition is to horses performance and behaviour.I work full time in sales now to pay for my expensive hobby however I enjoy being able to spend all of my hours at weekends and holidays travelling the country to compete my horses at a high level. As an amateur I am always extremely proud of all my horses when we stand in lines amongst top producers. I now have a collection of horses and ponies who are all part of my family and very much have a home for life ranging from young stock to retired veterans.

My biggest achievement would be my young warmblood who was purchased with inheritance money from my grandparents (so she is very special to me). As part of her education as a youngster we showed her inhand, she was very successful and unknown to myself was awarded 3 year old sports horse of the year by SHB(GB). I felt this was a huge achievement as an amateur to be so successful and beating the professional.

Omega Equine are pleased to introduce Snelsmore Miniature Pony Stud to our team of Brand Ambassadors. The stud is based in Chieveley near Newbury in Berkshire and is a peaceful part of the English countryside and was established in 1993 adding to the already busy life of breaking and competing horses.Clifford and Jackie originally bought the ponies as pets for their two children and gradually progressed further to where they are today; owning around 65 ponies of excellent breeding on their well-maintained stud.They have a combined experience of over 95 years dealing with horses has stood them in great stead for knowing what is required to breed top quality ponies with correct conformation, movement and temperament.We look forward to keeping you posted with their results in the season.

Sophia Parry is one of our younger brand ambassadors at just 7 yr. old, she has 3 ponies who are 12yr old My Mate Murphy, 18yr old Cui Milady and 8yr old Orchids Yana.

Sophia has had a very successful unaffiliated career, achieving top 10 placings at the Junior show jumping championships of Great Britain and winning the Macaliece judges award for the most promising junior rider for the past two years.

Sophia may be young but she helps fund her showjumping by running a business alongside her mum schooling and backing/ producing and selling small ponies.Sophia has now started her British Showjumping career and is loving it, she took My Mate Murphy and Cui Milady to Pony of The Year Show this Easter and qualified My Mate Murphy for the Harcour Style and Performance final, which was amazing in itself as only 12 riders out of a class of 51 Could be picked for the final on Gala night, My Mate Murphy was awesome and they finished 8th.

Cui Milady also made the final in the mini open championships, but missed out on a placing, she has recently qualified for Scope Festival in the stepping stones class and we are aiming to qualify her and My Mate Murphy for the Cats and Pipe class too.

Sophia and Lady have been to Welsh team training at the David Broome Centre and are hoping to represent Wales in the 10 and unders at Welsh Home Pony. Sophia is aiming to compete at the Wales and West British Showjumping Derby which feature a proper bank. We look forward to keeping you updated with Sophia’s progress throughout the year.

Beatrice has been riding since she started to walk and when she was 2 years old she had two mini Shetlands; Leo and Louis, her love for ponies grew from there.  At 4 she was riding weekly at a local riding school and by 5 talked her way into owning her first (and very special) pony Symphony. Her competitive spirit was ignited when she began entering showing classes at local riding clubs and coming home with a clutch of red rosettes and trophy’s.Beatrice has developed her riding with the support of pony club and is a member of the Meynell Hunt PC and has represented the club show jumping, our Friday night sessions are never missed as they are always packed with fun and chatter. Hunting with the Meynell is one of Beatrice’s greatest loves having hunted for the first time in Storm Dorris and taking every second in her stride.

In 2018 Beatrice was lucky to be given the opportunity to purchase Forlan Honey Dancer, a seasoned 11.2h working hunter pony, previously placed at both HOYS and the Royal International Horse Show.  At the end of their first week together they took 1stin the BSPS Winter Championship Tiny Tots Working Hunter class. This success has continued throughout the season with the partnership taking the 1stin the Open Nursery Stakes and the Open Pony n/e 122cm at the Three Shires Spring Festival and first in the BSPS Tiny Tots at Staffordshire County ShowBeatrice also runs a second pony alongside, Renkum Super Spy. A little entrepreneur in the making last winter she successfully broke in and produced her first pony to sell on and to support the cost of her competing she takes in ponies to school while their jockey are on holiday.

Beatices’s hopes and dreams are to ride at both HOYS and the Royal International herself.  She trains with Victoria Leavesely Equestrian who specialises in working hunter ponies. Her long term aim is to represent GB Eventing.

Naomi Oliver is just 7 years old and has been riding most of her life; she found her love for dressage at the end of 2017 after taking her pony, Hallie, to a local competition. Hallie hasn't been the easiest pony so we had planned to keep things simple to start with but they have proven unstoppable ever since their first outing!

They have a superb unaffiliated record, always in the ribbons (often red!) even when competing against adults! So much so that Naomi has recently launched her affiliated campaign, which also seems to be holding a lot of promise, with equally impressive results in her first affiliated competition.

The highlight of their career so far was the Winter League Championships at Mount Ballon. Over the 2 days they achieved fantastic scores, winning them bronze overall in the under 12s and qualifying them for the championships of Great Britain later this year.

Naomi has continued to produce and compete Hallie while recently taking on a lovely new pony, Chockey. Naomi is already having brilliant results with her, having qualified for Hickstead on Chockey, along with Hallie. Naomi shows unbelievable amounts of perseverance and dedication, and dreams of becoming a Grand Prix dressage rider one day.

Greg previously has been to Germany to work for Irish international showjumper Denis Lynch, he travelled as groom on the Global Champions tour and competed himself in international 6 & 7-year-old classes alongside competing nationally up to 1.40m level.

It was in his time at Hickstead that Greg then met Shane Breen and started working for him as Yard Manager. During this time Greg was selected as one of 8 riders onto the Development programme by British Show jumping 'Step up to Gold'. This gave Greg help to access more international shows and training.With Greg’s vast yard management and competition experience he has now set up his own yard based at Hickstead training and producing horses and is running the stud for Breen Equestrian.Every horse on Greg’s yard is fed solely on the Omega Equine Supplements.

Emma is based locally to the Omega Equine head office and can often be seen at local events both supporting and competing.I have been a showjumping groom all of my life and now manage a showjumping stud 6 days a week which means I do my own 2 horses after work and compete on my days off. Both of my horses Roque Luna and Roque Jerrico are both homebred who have been produced by myself, I started showing 3 years ago with Roque Luna with great success competing at the Royal International and HOYS. This is such an achievement for us as we are beginners who are completely self-taught as I do not have time or can afford many lessons.

The 2018 season has been great so far with Roque Luna qualifying for the Royal International at Hickstead at our first outing, we competed at Royal Windsor for the first time coming 6thin a strong line up. She has also qualified for the CHAPS Championships, BSPA Championships and Equifest for 2018 so I keep you posted on how we get on.Roque Jerrico is having his first season showing this year and has qualified for the CHAPS Championships, BSPA Championships, and Equifest so I am really pleased with him so far this year. We took him to his second ridden show at Surrey County Show and I am really pleased to say that he came 2nd so has also got a ticket for the Royal International at Hickstead. He was such a brilliant boy as there was a lot going on and he took it all in his stride, we then went to Surrey Spring Show and he won a big ridden coloured class and won his in hand and took champion with lovely comments from all judges, he has also qualified for home produced finals.

My aim for the 2018 season is to try and qualify for HOYS with Roque Luna again this year and will do the championship shows. Roque Jerrico will do the Championships and maybe try HOYS next year when he has done a bit more.

We would like to welcome our newest brand ambassador David Morris.

David found his love of horses later on in life at the age of 34 with his two young daughters (to hopefully keep them away from the boys) leaving a life of moto cross, trails riding, quad biking and free style jet skiing behind. After his first lesson he was hooked and once him and his daughter learned to walk trot and canter there would be a new family member joining them.Within 3 month David bought their first horse a 14.2h cob x called Moo Cow followed very quickly by his very own horse Bam Bam a 16.2h Irish sports horse.

David’s drive and ambition made him want to try everything - show jumping, showing, hacking and dressage.

David appeared on Horse and Country’s first All Star Academy on Sky TV which was an amazing opportunity for him after riding for just over two years, and getting to meet some truly amazing people.

David has since had the honour of taking his own horse (Bam Bam) and another horse to the Pet Plan Area Festivals after only 2 1/2 years of riding and loves competing regular.

David also appeared in Horse and Hound magazine after he won one of his first BD competitions on a new horse after only a few weeks down in Yorkshire.

David bought his new horse Charlie 12 month ago as a 5 year old- he’s a 17.2h striking dapple grey Hannoveran.When not at home training with the amazing Simon Lauren’s you would find them both regularly training down at the Talland school of equation just outside Cirencester with the fabulous Pammy Hutton.

David’s dream is to compete Charlie at the National Dressage Championship's and compete dressage to music.

We are excited to be part of Davids journey and check out his Facebook page here.
