On this episode H&H’s showing editor Bethan Simons caught up with Jayne following her outstanding eighth supreme horse title at HOYS, this time with the coloured mare KBF Lucia.
“She’s very good at pacing herself. Poppy doesn’t put more effort in than is needed, but because she’s such a beautiful mover and such a lovely person in general, you don’t have to put much pressure on her. She’s naturally got her ears forward and naturally got a smile on her face, which does help. She is the most phenomenal ride, she rides like a hovercraft, both side saddle and astride.” – Jayne Ross on KBF Lucia, known at home as Poppy.
Jayne also talks to Bethan about how she first got the horse bug, moving into producing horses as a career, how she gets the best out of the horses – and humans – in her yard, and the team’s plans for next season.
