Polly Jackson's Profile

Polly jumping Polly Jackson is already an established star of British Eventing and was a member of the Great Britain Performance Squad 2006.

Based at her own yard on the Notts/Leics border, Polly starts the 2007 season with fourteen horses in competition training and a number of brood mares. The competition horses are at all levels from Intro through to her four-star horses, and there have been some excellent additions to her string over the winter. See my horses

Polly had great success as a junior, winning the British National Junior Championships and representing her country twice at the European Championships.

Polly on Time for T in 2007 At eighteen she joined the senior circuit and within two years won the Young Rider National Trials on her top horse Limestone Rise. Her senior ambitions led to her declining a place in the national Young Rider team, allowing her to concentrate on qualifying for 4 star level and achieving senior team selection. The strategy worked, Polly was placed 25th at the Blenheim Palace International 3 star event in 2000, qualifying her for Burghley 2001. At her 1st four star, Polly and Limestone Rise completed, achieving 40th place in a world class international field. 3 days later she travelled to France to win the Vittel International Three Day Event CCI** on Purdies High Days.
