"“Apple Lytes are an essential part of my horses feeding regime - especially when in full competition and during the heat in the summer months!"

Kirstie Leightly

 

Born in Kent, Kirstie grew up in a non-horsey but very supportive family, who were always behind her riding career. A regular on the British pony, junior and young rider circuit, she has been competing since a young age and is no stranger to winning.

Kirstie gained great experience over the past 3 years being stable jockey to Guy Williams, competing alongside Guy at all the top European shows and having the chance to jump top horses at international level. Kirstie has formed a notable partnership with the chestnut mare Thais D’La Verrerie. With a history of not being easy, Kirstie has produced her right the way through from novice level to international 4* classes and the combination were placed in the 2018 Hickstead Speed Derby.
