I am Ashley Harrison of Ashley Harrison Eventing currently Eventing at BE Advanced, FEI CCI4*-S and Showjumping at Foxhunter. I have a degree in Accounting and Finance from the University of Southampton and decided once I graduated to follow my dream of making horses a career. I now run my own livery yard, compete on both my own horses and those for owners in both Eventing and Showjumping. I am also a freelance instructor and I buy, produce and sell ponies in any spare time I have! My passion is horses and my ambition is to compete at Badminton and to this end I have recently attained my A Test with Distinction and will be continuing up the eventing ladder this season.
​
To help me along the way I am lucky enough to be trained and mentored by Nick Gauntlett FBHS Master Coach and Jade Dawson, a British Dressage Listed Judge for dressage. I have also trained regularly with Richard Waygood MBE, the Performance Manager for the British Eventing Team.
​
I started with my first pony in a field at 13 and now have multiple Event horses competing and several ponies in the process of being produced. In the last few years my riding has stepped up a gear in line with a desire to make it my career. As a result there have been a few significant milestones along the way:-
​
-
2nd place in the Advanced class at The Festival of British Eventing 2019
-
3rd place at the CCI3*-L at Blair Castle 2019
-
A win at the Pony Club Championships 2015 at Open Level Eventing on Zebedee
-
A placing at my first CIC*, 8th place at my first 3 day CCI*and a double clear in my first International CIC2*
-
3rd place twice at BE Intermediate in 2017 qualifying me for The Intermediate Championships at The Festival of British Eventing in 2018
-
4th place in the Top Spec Corinthian Cup Championships at The Festival of British Eventing 2016
-
Two consecutive wins at The Royal Windsor Horse Show University Team Challenge
-
10th place at my second BE Advanced 2018
-
1st place at Blenheim Palace International Horse Trials Eventers Challenge 2018
I am currently working on growing my business, enhancing my brand, developing my riding further and continuing to make progress along this journey I have begun. I hope you can join it with me.
