Annabel Widdowson

Questie is absolutely adored by us all, although he pretends not to like it!

He can be quite cheeky in the stable, and when he comes out of the ring. He wears a red ribbon to tell people to keep out of his way! 

He is however as brave as a lion and he is so much fun to ride.

We often refer to him as King Questie!

Bunbury Conquest

The Queen. Whinney is the kindest, most caring mare who can also be quite sensitive. 

She loves going to shows and she jumps up the ramp of the lorry when we load her. 

She always has her eye watching out over the children!

Whinney Lass

Desdemone du Marquais is a little rocket that loves to jump!

Arcade Eddie is currently leased to Christina Cotton.

Eddie was Annabel’s first 138 bought through Parc Stables in Ireland. He is a gentleman in and out of the stable.

Daffodil is now ridden by Ava - Grace Moir.

We call Daffodil a beast when it comes to her food!

She absolutely loves feed time and she would take your whole hand off when given treats! 

Daffodil adores cuddles and she has unbelievable scope.

Nanthelyg Carlo (Zorro) is a firm family favourite and is currently ridden by Annabel’s cousin. He will soon join the Mofitt family on lease.

Zorro was Annabel’s first BS pony that she got when she was 5. 

He is an absolute hooligan to handle but a saint in the ring!

Zorro has competed with both Annabel and Sophia Pessoa in the hunter divisions in Wellington. 

He was second in Valkenswaard with Annabel when she was 6. 

Zorro is Annabel’s brother William's favourite pony.

Essenar Jinja Ninja has been sold to Zachary Bradshaw.

Jinja was previously owned by Nicola Rogers and ridden by daughters Izabella and Sophia Rogers who had lots of success with him.

There is no track too big for Jinja but he does demand to be ridden accurately!

Ridden by Nick Skelton, Big Star (Henry) was a key member of the Gold Medal winning team at the London 2012 Olympics.

Big Star made history in 2016, when he and Nick brought home the first Individual Gold medal for Great Britain that the sport has ever won.

In a British Showjumping article announcing Big Star being awarded the KWPN Stallion of the Year 2017, they said Big Star was;

" An incredibly charismatic horse, it is impossible to not feel immense affection towards his infectious personality and way of going. Big Star, with his exuberance and lion-hearted way neighing at the fences as he enters the arena through to the way he attacks each fence on the course made him a personality in his own right. After his tremendous Team Gold performance at London 2012, this was very quickly recognised and captured by one of the leading national newspapers when they illustrated him as the Usain Bolt of equestrianism."

Big Star was bought in 2007 with the London 2012 Olympics in mind, after a tip-off from Laura Kraut who had spotted his potential while at a show in Holland.

Big Star is now enjoying a life of stud duties, ensuring his immeasurable talent is passed down for generations to come.

Annabel first took to the saddle at the age of just 3 years old and was instantly bitten by the bug. Her ponies are adored and she spends every possible second with them.

Annabel is no stranger to competing in major championships.

In 2022, at just 7 years old, Annabel became the youngest rider to ever win a second round, qualifying them for the Royal International 128 championship on Whinney Lass.

Annabel continued breaking records in 2023, becoming the youngest rider to ever win a championship in the International Arena at Hickstead, as well as becoming the youngest team member on an England gold medal winning pony team, jumping a double clear in the Home Pony at aged just 8 years old.

2024 was another incredible year, with England Team victories in both the Wales and West and English Home Pony Shows, winning both the Enablelink Ltd 128cm Championship at Horse of The Year Show and The Agria 128cm Championship at The London international Horse Show, and also being awarded the Young Achiever of the year Award by the Welsh Pony and cob Society.

Annabel's hopes and dreams are to ride on European teams with Ponies and Children on Horses and one day be on the Olympic team! 

Annabel who attends the Granville School, looks up to Tiffany Foster, Laura Kraut, Rodrigo Pessoa and of course Nick Skelton.

The Welsh Pony and Cob Society presented Annabel with the Glynoch Trophy at the Society's Awards Celebration yesterday, held at Stoneleigh Park.

Each year the Welsh Pony and Cob Society awards The Glyncoch Trophy to a young person in recognition of their achievements within the Society or with the Welsh Breed.  We are delighted that the Society Council has chosen Annabel to be the Society’s Young Achiever for 2024.
