ANNA JESTY
" I am a 20 year old Dressage rider from Dorset, competing Internationally at Young Rider level. I started riding when I was 2 on my families little Dartmoor pony. At the age of 6, I wanted to expand my knowledge and discover all the different aspects of this amazing sport, so I joined the Wilton Hunt Pony Club. During my time as a member, I competed in all disciplines but my love lay with eventing . When I was 13, my team unexpectedly qualified for the Pony Club Dressage National Championships which resulted in me getting the ‘dressage bug’ and that is where it all began for me really!
Over the following 2 years I trained my retired eventer until he was competing at Elementary and was training at Medium level . I continued to event one another horse until June 2014 but quickly realised my love lay with Dressage. In May 2014 we bought my current dressage horse Gleavo aka Aquiro. From this point forward I discovered the true magic of Dressage.
Anna is a BDCC level 2 coach and a BD level 5 judge.
