Ginny Howe

Ginny has been eventing at the top level for many years, having progressed from winning the pony club team championships on a Homebred horse at a young age. Moving on to Junior and Young Rider British teams, where she rode at the Europeans for GBR at Blair Castle. On the same horse and one of the youngest riders at the time, at age 21, went on to jump clear at the prestigious Badminton 5*. More recently, Ginny finished 18th at Pau 5* and rode at Burghley 5*. 

​

Ginny has produced a number of horses through the levels, from 5yo BE90 to 4*. Ginny regularly rides at 3*/4* level, and as well as eventing, can be seen regularly on the British Showjumping circuit up to 1.30, with a love for SJ and producing horses. Last season (2025), she jumped double clear at Blenheim 4* International on a horse she has produced since 4yo. 

​

With a passion for helping riders achieve their goals at their desired level, Ginny’s coaching is both educational, confidence-building and rewarding. Ginny is also a Coach for a Barbados rider at the CAC games and teaches regular clinics in the Caribbean.  

​

Alongside her eventing career, Ginny has a long‑standing passion for showjumping and is increasingly pursuing this discipline in its own right. A phase that has always been a favourite, she takes time to understand each horse’s way of going over coloured poles, carefully developing technique, confidence and trust to give them the best possible chance of success in the ring. Throughout the winter months, Ginny can often be seen competing on the British Showjumping circuit, from the lower classes through to 1.30m. With a strong calibre of jumping‑bred young stock coming through, she is focused on developing this side of the programme year‑round, with clear ambitions to compete at a number of prestigious showjumping fixtures.

Liz Howe

Liz has been a constant source of support throughout Ginny’s career, playing a vital role both behind the scenes and at competitions. From providing a base for the horses at the family home to supporting Ginny on the road, her commitment has been unwavering. 

Liz is a key member of the team, running the yard alongside Sue and ensuring everything is kept running smoothly at home. She is also heavily involved in event preparation and provides invaluable support at competitions, contributing greatly to the day‑to‑day success of the team. 

Sue Corbett

Sue has been running the yard with Liz for many, many year, and has known Ginny since she was a baby. She plays an important role in keeping everything running smoothly. She has watched Ginny grow up and has always been part of the team. 

​

Always part of the fabric of the team, Sue is known affectionately as the “tack cleaning fairy”, a reflection of her dedication, attention to detail and pride in the yard 

Olly Stafford

Oliver Stafford (Olly) is the main person who supports Ginny with her riding, as well as helping around the yard. He joined the team a few months ago, is currently studying at Oxford Brookes University, and will be regularly seen at competitions. Keen for more pony time whilst studying away from home, he contacted Ginny just before Christmas 2025, and it quickly felt as though he had always been part of the team. 

​

Oliver plays a key role in producing the young homebred horses coming through and learning their jobs, acting as Ginny's right‑hand support in their development. He is excellent when away at shows, ensuring that everything is well organised both in the lead‑up to competitions and on the day itself. 

Jilly Foster

After owning her own horses and competing on other people's horses, working long hours in her role in IT/Banking and travelling around the world with her job, horses are a key part of her life and Jilly's sanctuary will always be Four Winds Farm. 

​

Jilly has helped keep Ginny's horses fit for the last 25 years, whether its hill and stamina work, or educating the youngsters with everyday experiences out hacking, ensuring that all the horses in the yard have a great balance of schooling/hacking in their routines. 

​

Whatever the weather the yard is always a place of fun, a lot of laughter with no day ever being the same.
