Chloe Chubb's showing blog: Olympia butterflies are fluttering
As the chance to fulfill a lifetime's ambition of riding at Olympia gets ever closer, Chloe is getting butterflies a plenty
Chloe is a successful amateur showing rider and judge, who has been blogging on Horseandhound.co.uk since 2010. She mainly competes in ridden Mountain & Moorland classes with her team of ponies, as well as riding for other people. She lives in Kent and works full-time in London, so has to fit the ponies in around work.
