Organic Horse Start Squad member: Josh Thompson

Josh Thompson events and rides Viander - a dun, 7 year old KWPN gelding by Hamlet who competes at Novice level and Shanagarry - a grey, 12 year old Connemara gelding who is at Intermediate level. Up to date he has achieved top 10 placings at JRN/Open Novice in 2008/2009, and completed his first CCI* clear XC. Josh aims to complete successfully at 1*/intermediate level in 2010 and in the future, to progress up the levels to 4* competition.

Why horses? "I have been interested in horses since I could walk, the unity between horse and rider is evident in no other sport."
Biggest horsey bug bear? "Unfit horses competing."
Worst horsey habit? "The position of my hands in dressage."
If not horses what? "As a hobby, running. Career wise, I have no idea!"
What could you not live without? "My mother and the support I have with the horses."
