Vicky Tuffs - RiderVicky started eventing nearly 20 years ago, winning the National Pony Club Championships, before moving on to young riders competitions at home and abroad with her first top horse Kusimanse.
Vicky was selected for the CIC** European Championships in Germany with Tudor Romance, a horse that went on to compete at Bramham (3rd), Blair Castle (11th) and Blenheim (12th), before going to Badminton, where Vicky and Tudor Romance completed in 2007, securing a top-35 finish. Tudor Romance was then sold to Italy, and Vicky began producing young horses to a high level, highlights include Silver Lining sold for Zara Phillips to ride, Dynasty sold for William Fox-Pitt to ride, Dargun sold for Emily King (2018 U25CCI*** champions now ridden by Piggy French) & Cola III sold to Bubby Upton (2017 7 yr old champion and selected for Young Rider Europeans). Vicky is grateful for all the support she has received throughout her career, notably from her Mum and Dad - Linda and Gerry, without whose assistance and encouragement GHF Equestrian would not be possible. Vicky lives on site at GHF Equestrian in the farm house with her husband, Craig, and her two sons, Jack (7) and Oliver (4). |
