Lottie (19) and Pippa (18) are ambitious young event riders with a passion for producing top-quality sport horses to fulfill their dream of competing at the highest level of eventing. Over the past three years, they have had the privilege of representing Great Britain at three youth championships, achieving remarkable success. In 2022, they were the top-placed British pony in Strzegom, followed by winning Junior team silver in Montelibretti in 2023, and most recently, Junior team bronze in Strzegom in 2024—all with three different horses. “None of this would have been possible without the incredible, world-class training we’ve received from Tracy Woodhead and Jeremy Scott,” they reflect.
Their goal is to produce happy, healthy, elite athletes capable of thriving in modern horse sports. A key part of this success is their horses’ gut health, which they support with SUCCEED®. “We truly believe that maintaining a healthy gut is essential to helping our horses cope with the physical and mental demands of training and competition,” they explain. Along with using SUCCEED, they take a natural approach to horse care, ensuring their horses have access to ad lib hay, daily turnout, and regular hacking. “This balance is crucial in allowing our horses to manage the pressures of such a demanding sport.”
Since incorporating SUCCEED into their horses’ routine, they have seen significant benefits. “We’ve noticed less sensitivity around the girth, and our horses just seem more comfortable overall in their bodies,” they say. Their horses’ gut health has also remained stable, even in stressful situations like traveling abroad. “Where we previously relied on Omeprazole, we now confidently use SUCCEED instead.” They add, “The improved gut health has led to better nutritional absorption, which has contributed to their overall well-being.”
Administering SUCCEED has been straightforward, too. “The horses love the taste of the syringes, which makes it easy for us to give them what they need.” They also point out that “their coats are shinier and healthier than ever.”
For Lottie and Pippa, SUCCEED has become a vital part of keeping their horses happy, healthy, and ready to perform at their best in both training and competition.
