Professional international 5* event rider
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.

Stallions at stud
Chanuck Z:
Stallion at stud
-
Date of birth: 2018
-
Height: 16hh
-
Stable name: Tommy
-
Sire: Chardonnay Z
-
Owner: Miss Ginny Howe
Small and compact in size, yet full of quality and scope. He has a wonderful temperament, with huge movement on the flat and the same extravagant ability over a fence.
Competitive for both in British Showjumping, currently at Newcomers and will look to step up to Foxhunter soon.
2025 saw him eventing at BE100, with many wins and impressive dressage scores. He stepped up to Novice and will continue to consolidate at this level with the view of competing at international 2* level later in the season.
He has huge scope and ability in dressage; a total show off, with the real ‘look at me’ presence. Where show jumping and eventing are concerned, he loves to jump and is quick, while remaining careful to his fences.
He has excellent conformation, making him ideal for any type of mare. With many offspring already on the ground, he is consistently passing on his good looks, movement and attitude.
He is well suited to breeding to a smaller mare but works equally well with a bigger mare, having shown that he passes on plenty of range. Please contact Ginny if you would like to find out more about Chanuck Z.
Interlaken W:
Stallion at Stud
-
Date of birth: 2013
-
Height: 16.2hh
-
Stable name: Lanikin
-
Sire: Sam R
-
Owner: Miss Ginny Howe
Interlaken W has an exceptional temperament, which is consistently passed on to his offspring. Of a particular quality, he is ideally suited to a TB mare, with many successful offspring already on the ground from similar combinations. He is also well-suited to hotter or sharper mares, as his outstanding attitude and temperament are reliably passed on.
He has show jumped up to 1.30m in British Show Jumping classes and has competed up to Intermediate level in British Eventing. He has a trainable, easy attitude on the flat, with natural balance and good movement. In the show jumping arena, no fence is too big; he has endless scope and a good technique. With a good percentage of Thoroughbred blood in his pedigree, he is quick across the ground.
More recently, he has been team chasing and hunting with several different packs. An ideal choice for anyone wishing to breed a genuine, easy all-rounder with movement, plenty of scope, and fantastic conformation.
Please contact Ginny if you would like to find out more about Interlaken W.
