Sponsored Eventer qualifies for 4* at Blenheim International Horse Trials & Young Horse Championship

A worthwhile journey to Blair Castle International Horse Trials for our sponsored rider Tom Grant

Tom Grant grew up with his family just outside Wells in the village of Dulcote. He went from competing in the Pony Club to Young Riders and then on to apprentice with Pippa Funnell and William Fox-Pitt - two of our most successful international event riders. For the last five years, Tom has operated out of his yard just outside Malmesbury as a full time professional event rider. He has a number of private and corporate owners from The Mynde Park Estate, Mark Scott Arenas to The Stevenson Bros rocking horses and Sandersons UK.

2021 has been the most extraordinary year for Tom. Penhills Optimax, his 4* horse (bay coloured, pictured above left), has just qualified for Blenheim International Horse Trials. Tommy Cruise (roan coloured, pictured above right), is his younger 3* horse and has qualified for the Young Horse Championships at Osberton. If he is successful there, he will come in front of the selectors and could go to Le Lion in France at the end of the year representing Great Britain in the International Young Horse Championships.

We have supported Tom for some years and are proud of our association with him. We wish him every success at Blenheim and Le Lion later this month.

Myth #3: Agents always work in your best interests

Every estate agent promises it. Every valuation appointment includes it. And every seller and landlord has heard it so often that it becomes background noise. The phrase is simple: “We work in your best interests.” But what does that really look like in practice?
