GEMMA TATTERSALL

REIGNING national champion and current FEI world ranked number two Gemma Tattersall was a member of the British squad at the 2017 European Championsh­ips and a member of the team at the 2016 Rio Olympic Games riding Quicklook V. She was fourth at Badminton this year with Arctic Soul.

TRAINING THE StARS

The most difficult horse I have to make the time on is Pamero, because he is so big and has the most enormous stride that he takes time to set up for combinatio­ns.

Arctic Soul is a strong horse but is so naturally fast that I can still make the time on him, as long as he is paying attention and listening to me.

Santiago Bay might not be full thoroughbr­ed, but she has such an amazing length of stride, a natural ability to gallop and doesn’t pull, so I find it easy to make the time on her.
