Hayley Norgrove is the proud Chairperson and Area Showjumping & Eventing Team Manager of the Ludlow & District Riding Club. A lifelong horsewoman, she first started riding at the age of 11 and has never looked back.
Hayley competes with her beloved mare Molly, who she calls her “horse of a lifetime,” and together they enjoy a variety of disciplines, from showjumping to eventing. Her passion for horses goes hand in hand with her dedication to the club community — encouraging riders of all levels to get involved, have fun, and achieve their goals.
Supportive, approachable, and full of energy, Hayley leads by example, helping to keep the club a welcoming and inclusive space for everyone who shares a love of horses.
I’ve been a member of the committee since the start of the club and have been Mercian rep since then. I also love running the friendly, low key dressage competitions at Aston Munslow in the summer evenings. It’s lovely to see people progress over the 5 months we run. Myself I have a horse called Liffi, I’ve owned him for 6 months, we love going and doing all disciplines at grass roots level.
I was a pony-mad child and grew up hacking over the Shropshire Hills. At 18 I went to London to cook and travel, then a few years later returned to Shropshire where I’ve lived a farmer’s wife life with children, B&B, a small campsite and all the farm paperwork. I have a degree in Nutrition, and I’m currently doing my AAT Bookkeeping qualifications. I had a 30 year break from horses, but am now riding my 6 year old Morgan mare who I bought as a yearling. We are making progress, and my aim is to have a horse that I can do a bit of everything on!
I started riding when I was 6 and have had the bug ever since! I bought my first horse at 18 and Ted is now my fourth horse, having owned him since 2016. We love to jump, having competed at Mercian when we lived in Worcestershire, before stepping up to Area competitions. We took up dressage year, having previously only tolerated it as part of unaffiliated eventing, but he seems to love it! I look forward to encouraging more members to join me in Area dressage competitions in 2024.
I have one horse, Polly, who I love doing a bit of everything with. We hack, jump, and just have fun. We aren’t very good at flatwork but we will get there !! I struggle with my confidence competing but I am looking at doing a few competitions this year. I enjoy clinics and training and meeting people. I hope to encourage people to come along to lessons and enjoy them at whatever level they are working at. If you want to share a lesson if it’s flat, pole or jump I’m always happy to fit in wherever!
A life long horse lover I began riding as a young child on friends ponies and didn't actually own my own horse until my early 30s. I currently have 5 horses two of whom are in the 20s enjoying their well earned retirement and three who I currently compete. Due to my advancing years I decided that I didn't bounce well enough to carry on eventing and team chasing so took up showing instead as I felt it might be easier on the joints. So two of my horses are show ponies. Arthur is a rather large middleweight hunter who took me to the London International Horse show last Dec an amazing experience. Zach is a much smaller riding horse who has had a brilliant start to his first seasons showing qualifying for 2 out of three championships in just 3 outings so fingers crossed for a LIHS qualification too. Finally, Oz is my fun riding club all-rounder, competing for the club in most disciplines and my family and friends favourite grey pony.
Hi my name is Georgia, I started riding at about 10 years old, working on riding yards with the RDA and young kids. Now mother of 2 at 30 and have 2 ponies. Mazie is my main pony, we excel at dressage and are hoping to go up the levels this year with lots of training and going out more. Hoping to meet more people and make friends and enjoy doing lots of stuff with the club.
I fell in love with horses as a young girl & started riding at the local riding school age 9. My parents could never afford to buy me a pony. I must have broken their hearts, I asked for a pony every birthday & christmas. But after a break, I eventually got my own horse age 30 & have had horses ever since. I have 2 horses, a coloured mare called Tilly, who I love to hack, do clinics & lessons with. Also, Boxer a chestnut loveable companion pony. Always enjoy abit of company whilst out hacking.
