Team Levett
I would like to introduce you to ‘Team Levett’ as although I ride the horses, without them I’d not be able to keep the show on the road. I hope you get a flavour from my blog of the variety of activities and level of detail that goes on behind the scenes to run a successful event yard. Whether it be the planning that goes in to tailoring the competition plans for each and every one of the horses, or working out the personalised fitness and training programmes for each horse, or the feeding and shoeing programmes, no stone is left unturned and the detail is constantly revisited in order to try and ensure both the horses and I are ‘set up for success’.
My team is critical to my success, everyone plays their part and all involved are equally important.

Eleanore is our head girl and is in her fourth season with us. Eleanore has a great attention to detail and helps to ensure the yard runs smoothly and the horses are cared for to a very high standard. |
|
Izzy joined us from the Manchester area. She’s was studying at College but wanted to get some more hands on practical experience in a competition yard. She is in her second season with us. |
|
Mary, in her third season with us as a working pupil. She is full of fun and always has a smile on her face. Darian is also in her third season with us as a working pupil. She is very dedicated and tenacious. |
|
Becca joined us from a local riding establishment where she was been assistant yard manager. She is in her first season with us. Emily joins us from the Orkney Isles where she has been working with horses since leaving school. Hannah started a degree course after finishing at Moreton Morrell but has decided that some more practical experience is where her heart lies at this time. Bethany lives locally and has been around horses throughout her life to date |
|
Daryl and Lisa help keep the place up to speed; they allow us to have some breathing space in what is a very hectic life as they ensure everything is kept organised. Alex Pickles is our very handy Handyman |
|
They are all critical members of the team who we’ve worked with for a long time, more than ten years in most cases, and who help to keep the horses fit and well. |
 Bettina Hoy (dressage trainer) and Roland Fernyhough (show jumping) give me help on the flat and over fences as I believe I’m constantly learning and need help to try and continue to improve and refine my riding skills and understanding/partnership with each of the horses I ride and produce. |
|
Grace: last, but by no means least. Gracey has been with us since Joshua and Ursula were two. She looks after them both, mucks in helping us, and we couldn’t do without her. |
|
Bandit and Missy (the cats!) ensure the wildlife especially mice/rats are kept eliminated at Little Charingworth Stud. |

Thanks to Fiona Scott-Maxwell who takes the majority of the fantastic photos on our website. |
Charlotte creates order out of chaos with the bookwork.
