CLARE CRUMP -
Showing Rally organiser
Clare having a day away from the horses
Clare recently joined our committee and grew up in the Eventing & Show Jumping circuit. She now focuses on Showing and competes at top events all over the UK, including more recently Olympia!
Clare likes to help anyone who wants to attempt Showing through to those who compete in Showing regularly. She organises our ridden and dismounted Showing rallies, aimed to help riders and handlers improve turnout and she also provides lots of Showing techniques and tips.
Her advice to anyone is to listen, dream, believe and achieve.
Clare also manages the Cavalier Centre where we regularly hold rallies and our winter Dressage league.

Q- How long have you been riding?
A- Since I was a few months old
Q- When did you join ESRC?
A- 29 years ago.
Q- Who inspires you in the equine world?
A- Judi Kemp (who unfortunately is no longer with us) She was a superb classical Dressage trainer with extensive background knowledge, who was not afraid to give you positive and negative feedback!
Q- What’s your favourite horse discipline?
A- Showing. My body is now not up to jumping!
Q- If you could own any horse past or present who would it be?
A- I have been very lucky to own lots of amazing but quirky horses but I think Star has to be my favourite despite being the horse I have broken my neck and back on twice!
Q- What’s your silliest horse related injury?
A- All of them!
Q- TB or Cob?
A- TB cross, preferably with an Irish Draught!
Q- Hoys or Olympia?
A- I have been lucky enough to compete at both several times. HOYS is so close and an amazing atmosphere. Olympia now London International Horse Show is so magical being so close to Christmas.
Q- Mare or Gelding?
A- Either!
Q- What’s your horsey pet hate?
A- Rider’s not saying thank you when you slow down on the road for them. Even if your horse is uptight a smile or mouthing thank you goes a long way!
