    Lottie Fry on such success before turning 30

    British dressage star Lottie Fry has spoken exclusively to H&H, in this subscriber-only interview, about her success in the saddle, which includes winning European, world and Olympic gold medals. Lottie talks about putting “24 hours a day, seven days a week into the horses” and says “People don’t see it because it’s behind the scenes, so they don’t see how all our horses are looked after, and how happy they are to do their job. I know from experience they love to go into the arenas, they love to compete and perform, it’s a part of who they are, and it’s something I hope everyone will see.”

    A stunning horsey home

    For those seeking a dreamy property in Somerset, look no further than Grove Farm. The Georgian farmhouse has views across farmland up to the Quantock Hills, plus three equestrian centres nearby. The property sits in around 12 acres, and its equestrian facilities include an American-style barn with seven loose boxes, two foaling boxes, solarium, hay store, tack room and feed store – plus a 40x20m arena. If that wasn’t enough, buyers can enjoy a separate pool house.
