Chloe Chubb's showing blog: the day of HOYS finally dawns
Chloe shares her HOYS experience and already starts looking forward to next year
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.
