Charlie Hutton
At just 19, he competes internationally at Intermediate II level and is a member of the British Young Riders team.
Sam Martin - “From Gang Crimes to Olympic Games”
Sam Martin is a British Dressage Rider; he is hoping to compete for Team GB in the 2012 Olympic Games.
His first experience of riding was on a donkey called, Jacko, at Vauxhall City Farm.
Growing up in South London was tough, but, for Sam horse riding was an escapism.
Riding as Therapy
Discovering horses and learning to ride transformed Stefan’s life.
Stefan lives in a council house in the Coldharbour ward of Brixton, which is one of the poorest and most deprived areas of Britain, a place where guns, gangs and drugs are the norm. Stefan struggled at school. He was disruptive and difficult in class and teachers had all but give up on him. Then he discovered riding.
The British Equestrian Federation
The British Equestrian Federation (BEF) represents and promotes the interests of the 4.2 million riders in the UK.
Horse-related sporting activities are many and varied which is why there are sixteen equestrian member organisations represented by the BEF.
Hoof is one of the BEF’s latest initiatives.
