Lara Abraham: I have ridden since I was tiny, being born into a horsey family. As member of the Puckeridge pony club I opted to persue a dressage direction until my older sister started to compete at affiliated show jumping shows. Aged 12 I got 2 13.2 JA ponies where I competed at RIHS, Hickstead, National Championships, the infamous Millstreet & represented great Britain on 3 occasions, moving onto 14.2s I produced many ponies through to JA level competing @ RIHS & HOYS. I won the national under 18 championships @ Wembley on Juragold.
Home produced French mare La Clochette then furthered my career competing all over Europe in international 1.60 Grand prix, RIHS, HOYS, Hickstead Queens Cup, speed Derby & winning numerous international trials.
I have always run a yard of horses with my mum Anna, where we specialised in producing young horses ‘Robin Hood being the most famous’ who went on to be number 1 in the world with Ben Maher.
I now have a private yard in Sible Hedingham where I still compete upto 1.40 level but mostly concentrate now on training & producing young horses, training livery for clients & training clients in dressage, showjumping & eventing of all levels.
