Brand Ambassadors
At Little Rock Equine Vets, we believe riding should be fun, rewarding, and tailored to you and your horse.
Our Brand Ambassadors are clients just like you – riders who enjoy exploring, learning and growing at their own pace. They represent the supportive, encouraging community we’ve created, where every journey with your four-legged friend is celebrated.
Meet our ambassadors – and their horses – below.

Leanne Bailey
With Baloo
I run a small schooling, sales and competition yard in Mow Cop, and throughout 2026 I’ll be attending a wide range of events, from dressage and showing to cross country and hunting. Alongside this, I’ll be competing my own two horses affiliated BSJA. I also have a homebred five-year-old stallion who has already qualified for the Winter Championships, so it’s been a great start to the season. Wherever we go, we’ll be flying the Little Rock flag high.

Neve Eason
With Sonny
Sonny and I had an amazing 2025, and we’re really excited for what’s ahead in 2026. We’re planning to compete as a pair in BSJA, NSEA and working hunter classes. A big focus for us is building confidence when travelling to new venues, while continuing to enjoy everything we do together. For me, it’s all about having fun, gaining experience and making the most of every opportunity this special partnership brings.

Katie Gibbins
With Tigz
Hi, I’m Katie and this is my little man Tigz, also known as Mr Jinx. Last year was all about fixing, building and improving, but we finished on a high with some dressage outings and a fantastic camp where I discovered he can really fly! This year, all being well, I’m aiming to qualify for BD Area Champs and hopefully regionals. I also have two four-year-olds starting their journeys and a foal due in spring.

Becki Hatton
With Ted
My goals have changed completely for 2026 after Ted’s lameness last year and moving to my dream home. I’m focusing on groundwork and building a stronger connection, improving his way of going under saddle while keeping things fun with tricks and liberty work. I’m also enjoying creating our ideal horsey lifestyle at home. When time allows, we’ll return to competing, but for now it’s about slowing down and building a solid foundation together.

Millie Hillard
With Toonie
Toonie and I focus on showjumping and are currently preparing for the Blue Chip 1.20 Championships. We’ve been doing plenty of training, along with using the water treadmill to build her fitness, and we’re really looking forward to the competition ahead. My aim this year is to continue progressing, building consistency and confidence at this level, and making the most of every opportunity we get out competing together.

Pam Hillard
With Elicia
I show my Shetland, Champlers Elicia, who is now four years old. Last season, she placed 8th out of 57 in the small M&M class at STARS, which was a fantastic achievement. This year, we’ll continue with in-hand showing while I consider her next steps, whether that’s being backed or possibly going in foal. For now, I’m focused on her development and enjoying the journey with her.

Flick Jackson
With Alfie Moon
Felicity and Alfie Moon have been a partnership for 18 months, and 2025 was a fantastic year for us. We won several unaffiliated showjumping leagues and competed in area competitions for High Peak Hunt Pony Club. We’ve also started British Showjumping junior classes and qualified for arena eventing finals. In 2026, we’re aiming to do more BS competitions, secure second round qualifiers, and gain experience in working hunter to build confidence and ringcraft.

Pip Mayer
With Quinton
Quinton and I are currently focusing on cross-country training, flatwork and hacking to build a solid foundation. We regularly attend North Staffs Pony Club and compete at local unaffiliated showjumping events, as well as riding club activities. As he’s still quite new, my main aim is to get him out to different venues and experiences. We’re also planning to enter Pony Club qualifiers this summer in both dressage and showjumping.

Heidi O’Neil
With ???
I’m Heidi, a true horse addict with a passion for breeding and producing. Last year was a great success, with my two jumpers finishing in the top ten of the Midlands Bronze League, and my youngstock grading well. This year, I’m hoping for a Big Star foal from my grey mare GG, and I’ll be returning to BS competition in April. My aim is to build on last year’s progress and continue gaining valuable points.

Tori Oakes
With Mouse
Over the winter, I’ve been keeping things fun by attending clinics and trying arena eventing, which Mouse absolutely loved. This year, I’m looking forward to continuing his education, getting out to new places and giving him more experience. We’ll be stepping into a few novice classes, focusing on confidence and enjoyment. For me, it’s all about developing him steadily, seeing the world together and making sure we both enjoy the journey.

Belle Oldfield
With Billy Bob
I’m Belle, and Billy-Bob and I have been together since July 2024. I’ve produced him myself from a three-year-old, and now at five, he has the most laid-back nature. I’m an active member of North Staffs Pony Club, and last year’s highlight was qualifying for STARS and finishing 11th in the 90cm Working Hunter. This year, we’re aiming to try eventing, attend more shows and keep learning together while having as much fun as possible.

Denise Otter
With Orea
This year, I’m planning to get back out dressaging and enjoy a horsey holiday in Yorkshire with a friend. My main goal is to have fun, go on new adventures and give my horse plenty of varied experiences. I’d love to explore new places, try different activities and maybe even have a go at in-hand showing. For me, it’s all about enjoying the journey together and making the most of every opportunity.

Amanda Whittingham
With Brian
I’ve been around horses long enough to have moved past the bravado and into a more thoughtful, horse-led approach. My focus for 2026 is to keep J and Brian improving, happy and healthy. I want to deepen my relationship with them, listen more and follow their lead. Competition will come when they’re ready, but for now it’s about steady progress. With the support of Little Rock, I can continue doing what I love.

Sarah Wilford
With Frisco
Not much has changed for me this year, apart from Frisco turning 18 and me getting a year older! I’ve already booked onto Somerford camp in April and hope for better weather this time. I’d love to do more one-day events and continue enjoying North Staffs Bridleways rides. My aim is to get out to new places, maybe even another beach ride, and make the most of every opportunity to ride and explore.

Su Williams
With Hector
This year, I’m reducing my herd from four to two Welsh Section A ponies. Hecter, now a gelding, and Welshcake, a three-year-old filly, have both been with me since weaning. I’m planning to get more miles driving and possibly attend a show later in the season. I may also look at backing Hecter for ridden work. Welshcake will continue her education and some in-hand showing, but most importantly, I want to enjoy them and have fun.

Su Woodcock
With ???
After a long break, I’m finally getting back into things. The show rugs are washed, a new jacket is ready, and I’m looking forward to the season ahead. First, I need to get everyone fit and ready for the show ring instead of the muddy field! I’m excited to get out and about again, whether with one, two or all three boys. The goal is simple — enjoy what we do and have plenty of new adventures.
