FOUNDER // YARD MANAGER // RIDER
CHARLOTTE ELLEN
l'm told that I learnt to ride in the same week I learnt to walk… Ever since then, the obsession, passion and connection I have has continued to grow.
My childhood was spent at both Pony Club and Riding Club - successfully competing to a national level at Show Jumping and Eventing. I was then lucky enough to further my equine education as apprentice for French showjumper, Sebastien Poirier and as competition groom for international showjumper, Yazmin Pinchen.
I have since been focussing on producing young sports ponies for competitive children as well as enjoying my showing debut with my first horse, turned show pony, 28 year old Sox,(with our eyes on the prize for Olympia - wish us luck!).
In a previous life, prior to working full time with horses, I had a career in London, providing me with a true understanding of the pressures of full time work and horse ownership. I therefore run the yard with this front of mind and welcome any questions queries or worries with true empathy.
Now, my goal is to work my way up the ranks competing and producing both my own and other's horses and ponies across all disciplines, and what better place to do this than Littleton Manor and all it has to offer.
