Gemma's Story

⭐️⭐️Super star ⭐️ ⭐️ 7yo event horse for sale. Top horse for the future. 

Chilli Wednesday, 16.1 gelding by Chilli Morning. This horse would be easy and genuine enough for a junior but also has the talent to add to a professionals string. 
So much blood and gallop with a scopey jump. Brilliant brain on the flat and lovely paces. Always scores well. Recently 2nd in a  2 star Short at Millstreet with a great double clear and also a super clear XC in his first intermediate at Gatcombe. Fit and ready to crack on. 

For sale as his owner is cutting down. 
Good set of X-rays taken at the beginning of this year.

Chilli Wednesday

I’m really looking forward to doing this demo for Horse&Rider Magazine at Merrist Wood Arena  on Thursday 26th October.

Tickets are available now for just £35 plus postage and doors open at 7pm with me hopping on my first horse at 7.30pm.

I will be bringing a mixture of young event horses & a few more experienced ones too as well as one of our lovely show jumpers!

We will explain the differences between them all and demonstrate how we train a very young horse to start understanding about jumping a skinny.

It will be a fun and entertaining evening with plenty to watch and learn about and I’d love to see you there - so much so that we are giving away two free tickets!

Head to 👉🏻 https://www.horseandrideruk.com/.../an-evening-with.../ to nab your tickets now! 
(They’re selling faster than we thought they would )


Don't miss an evening with Gemma!

Thank you for coming to read this. I’m on a little mission again. 

The horse I rode in the Hickstead Derby, Envoy Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar) is very sadly for sale.

He is only a 10yo so has plenty more fun years ahead of him. He’s an absolute sweetheart of a horse, very gentle and kind. 

You can find out more about Dime Bar on his profile here: 

https://gemmastevens.com/horses/envoy-merelsnest-z-dime-bar

We’ve struck up such a great relationship together in a very short space of time, and jumped some very big tracks! 

The aim would be to compete in as a many big shows and Derbys as we can fit in, which could be such a fun thing for people to be involved in. He would be the sort of horse that could jump in all the big GPs and world ranking classes, plus Derbys and even maybe puissance’s. 

There is plenty to still improve on,  and he will be very easy to pick up around our Eventing schedule. 

So if any of you or if you know if anyone that could be interested in a share in him then please let me know. 

You can contact me directly on:

gemma@gemmastevens.com

Thank you.

Would you like to join a syndicate with us?

The Brendon Stud boys were pretty awesome this weekend! Thank god because Eventing this year seems pretty tricky! 🌧️🌧️ 

We started the weekend on plan, jumping (and  coming 2nd) in the 1.40M Handicap at Pyecombe on the Brendon Stud's lovely stallion Pandito Van't Merelsnest Z (Wifi)

We then set sail to Gatcombe on Saturday morning with Flash Cooley, Chilli King and Ophelie Van Prinseveld for the OI.

We enjoyed our rainy drive down the M4 for 3.5 hours to find out the rain had taken it's toll on the ground and the class had been abandoned.

So sorry to all organisers and everyone involved, it’s so much hard work and also Gatcombe is one of the absolute BEST events. Such a shame. Yet again another event cancelled due to weather! 

We then managed to  turn around in the gateway and cause utter carnage because I was absolutely not going to get stuck!!

I’m going jumping! 

So, off to Pyecombe we go to jump the 5 Bar Challenge with the Brendon Stud's other lovely stallion, Envoy van't Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar) He was a super star and won the class!

Then yesterday Klent Spot On (Kung Foo) was 3rd on the boss's orders in the Foxhunter and Wifi and Dime jumped unreal in the summer GP for 1st and 2nd. Such good boys. 

A rained off Gatcombe resulted in great show at Pyecombe this weekend

Firstly, what a week for British Showjumping!
It was genuinely unbelievable to watch the boys win the Nations Cup and that second round of John Whitaker’s was something else! Complete and utter brilliance 🤩
Then for Rob to win the King George on the lovely 10yo Vermento was so cool too - we have a yearling colt by him out of MGH Candy Girl!! Eeeekkkkk!! 🫢
I was incredibly lucky to be asked to ride for the BRENDON STUD.
First up was Pandito Merelsnest Z, (WiFi) a REALLY lovely 8yo stallion. We competed in the International 1* 8yo classes and I have only been riding him a week! We had some brilliant rounds and qualified for the final with some very big jumps. We had one green rail in a double but we were all so thrilled with how he went. What a future he has. Love him ❤️

Our lovely Dime Bar was 2nd in a 1.35m and then had a go at the Queen Elizabeth Cup! What an absolute honour to compete in such a historic class. 
Unfortunately he was a bit tense and worried and so had some mistakes at the beginning of the round but that’s horses for you and especially such a sensitive boy - we both learnt a lot! 

7yo stallion Klent Spot On was 2nd and qualified for the newcomers final at the September show, AND 4yo stallion - Gins Bud (yes I rode a 4yo) did some lovely educational, no pressure rounds getting him ready for Bolesworth young horse show! 

A super busy week, but our brilliant teams from home and from Brendon Stud made it happen!! What a lucky girl I am! ☺️


We had a very busy week but totally loved every second of it. 
We had some fab results with our own team, with Cinsey Blue PS qualifying for the B and C final in the main ring, just having one green rail in the final.
She was also the best 7yo in a very decent 6/7yo class to qualify for the final at the September show. 
Our young event horses, Cooley Couture, Cooley Park Muse and Chilli King put in some super rounds too!
I did one of my all time favourite classes - the Eventers GP with Santiago Bay and Flash Cooley this year🏇🏿💨
As always it was a brilliant and very exciting class!! 
Santiago Bay put in a brilliant and very fast round unfortunately adding 2 rails near the end and Flash Cooley, as defending champion, was last to go and flashed his way around until his stupid jockey asked him for a long one at the last. He wasn’t so keen so we rather went through it as a complete (rude word) up!!! We finished 2nd and 3rd which was a great result but I was very cross with myself!

Royal International Horse Show write up

It was a fantastic afternoon for Gemma and her two entries in the The Ashby Underwriting Eventers Challenge at the Royal International Horse Show, Hickstead this afternoon, finishing 2nd with Cooley Park Muze and 3rd with Santiago Bay.

Drawn 5th to go on Santiago Bay (Kizzy) Gemma set a great pace around the track, setting the time to beat of 130.52.

Gemma held the top spot until 15th drawn Fred Scala shaved just over a second off of Gemma's time, crossing the line in 128.84.

Last to go was Gemma and her second ride, Cooley Park Muze who finished half a second behind Fred, in a time of 129.59 seconds.

Breeding just doesn’t get any better than this. This mare means the absolute world to me, she was simply the most talented horse I’ve ever ridden and had the heart of a lion plus she’s the sweetest most gorgeous person. I adore her. We have a few foals on the ground (links to Chico's Luck GSE born 2022 is below) and they are just STUNNING, so modern and blood, this is a chance in a lifetime to purchase a very very precious embryo out of her. 💕💕💕💕

What a week at CHIO Aachen! It felt so good to be back competing on a GB team after a few years of re-building my string!

I was back in the position of path finder this week, which isn’t my favourite place to be but I’m always happy to do it for the team 🇬🇧

Pru Dawes’ GORGEOUS Flash Cooley performed a brilliant test trying his absolute best, he’s not a super flashy, tall, beautiful mover but he’s an out and out trier and he never lets me down. He scored a very respectable 31 in top class company to sit just inside the top 15 and to help the team sit in the lead going into the jumping that evening.

We were super super unlucky to have one tiny touch which was a great shame as he jumped the most amazingly polished round, but the team were still in the lead overnight! 

I went out on the xc like a demon on a mission and our little man answered every question with so much guts and trust.

I am unbelievably proud of him and how far he has come, crossing the line just 4 seconds over the time which was joint fastest time of the day!
Sadly we were deemed to have missed a flag, I genuinely didn’t think we had….. he absolutely 100% jumped the fence and tried so hard to stay the right side, but that’s the sport and it was their final decision. 

Without the flag we would have been 6th in a world-class competitive field and whatever the result I am so proud of this little horse and super excited for what’s to come with him. 
What a day of emotions with the team! Yasmin Ingham was simply unbelievable all week and her and beautiful Banzai fully deserved the individual win! 

The team finished 3rd even with a few mistakes, so we know with those ironed out we absolutely would have come out on top. 
Huge huge well done to all of my teammates, I know we all learnt so much about our wonderful horses on this trip.

We finished off our Aachen week last night with a crazy trip around the jump and drive! 
Soooooooo much fun!

Caroline Telsch’s Santiago Bay LOVED galloping around that main arena jumping jumps and I hung on the back of a 4 horse carriage at speed! Loved it and we finished 3rd! 

Quite simply THE best show in the world - until next time Aachen! 
But now it’s time for some 💤💤💤💤

CHIO Aachen - Nations Cup and Jump and Drive

So excited to be CHIO Aachen bound with the two superstars, Flash Cooley who is heading over for the Nations Cup and Santiago Bay for the Ride and Drive! 

Got to get my Eventing hat back on this week after a few fantastic weeks showjumping but I can’t wait to get stuck in! 

With us travelling so many different horses to so many different places around the world, we genuinely don’t know what we would do without our amazing WeatherBeeta UK kit (www.weatherbeeta.co.uk)

The travel kit is just so brilliant with heaps of choices for all types of weather - we’ve chosen this lightweight micro air cooler for the special two this week - just to keep the chill off their backs but as it’s so warm it also means they don’t get too hot or sweaty. 

Weatherbeeta have supported me for as long as I can remember, and it really does make all the difference knowing that our horses are so comfortable when they are travelling the world!

On the road to CHIO Aachen 

What an unreal & surreal week spent at the Al Shira'aa Hickstead Derby Meeting. A real dream come true and what an incredible privilege to get to compete in the iconic Hickstead Derby! I feel very proud to have given it a bloody good go! 

Having only ridden Envoy Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar) for less than 6 weeks and this being only our 2nd show together AND my first time competing at 1.60m, it was a big ask. 

Everyone around me has had an unbelievable amount of belief and faith in  both of us which was very encouraging! 

We jumped the 1.60m Derby trial on Friday and just had one down to come 8th which SERIOUSLY helped the confidence!

We had a wonderful round in the Derby, was it perfect, no... But it was smooth, calm and felt completely stress-free! 

Dime Bar was so with me and he tries so hard but we had 2 very unlucky touches and 2 mistakes. We so easily could have had a bit of luck and just had 8 faults but we ended on 16 which was still placed and in the money. 

We were all absolutely thrilled with how beautifully Dime went and so excited to maybe try again one day! 

What a lovely horse he has been to work with and hopefully you may hear more from us! I absolutely love him!

Massive massive thank you to Shirley Light, Dime's owner for thinking of me and asking me to ride him, her belief in me has been quite unbelievable and genuinely made me feel that I could do it! 

Thank you to Gaz for always believing in me and everyone else who has been unbelievably supportive this week. 

Honestly….. CHUFFED TO BITS to tick the Derby off my bucket list, I can't wait to do it again!!! 
The big question everyone keeps asking, is it as good as going around Badminton and Burghley - the answer YEP IT ABSOLUTELY IS!!!!!! What a BUZZ!!!


A SURREAL week at Hickstead!

Such a great week,  we all loved every single second of it! 

We managed some brilliant results, learnt so much and I couldn’t be more chuffed with all the horses.

It was amazing to get to know Dime Bar at our first show together AND to be back jumping some big ranking classes again after missing Candy Girl so much AND AND to have Santiago Bay back in such blistering form (told you it was a good week 🤣)

So fun and such a privilege to do the master class with Nicola Wilson and Geoff Billington on our wonderful Flash Cooley! 

Just some of our results 👇🏻

Santiago Bay 🥈 Eventers GP 🥈1.25m jump off and 4th 1.35m speed 

Cinsey Blue PS 🥇 7yo speed 

Balou For Pleasure placed day one 1.40m 

Envoy Merelsnest Z (Dime Bar!) jumped unbelievable in the two Ranking 3 star classes 1.45m and 1.50m. 

Cooley Couture jumped some serious rounds in the 6yos!

Thank you so much to my girl Hannah Lavender for some seriously hard graft! And to Gary Stevens for being there for every jump! 

And thank you to all my owners - Caroline Teltsch
Shirley Light, Emma Lancaster, Pru Dawes-Rowland, Lisa Maynard &  Chris Jackson - your horses are all MEGA!!
