The Emerald Green Feeds team have always valued the enthusiasm that young ‘grass roots’ riders bring to equine sport and are excited to welcome Freya Alderson as their ambassador.
Freya, who’s 16 , competes in British Dressage as part of the North and East Youth squad.
As a child, Freya was happy grooming and picking out feet for her father’s horses, and then at eight, the family found her Brookshill Precious, a New Forest pony x TB.
The pair learnt together, spending many happy hours hacking and riding at home.
Freya then started out unaffiliated, quickly qualifying for Trailblazers. Placed third in the intro championship in 2023, she began her affiliated journey and has now completed her first year in BD.
Freya attended the Winter Area Championships at Addington earlier this year and qualified for the Summer Area festivals at both preliminary and novice level. Then at the start of 2024 Freya joined BD Youth and is part of the C+ squad for North and East. She recently represented the N&E region and England at BD Youth Home Nations in August.
Freya, feeds an Emerald Green Feeds forage-based fibre diet to Precious, Brando and Poppy. She’s already enjoyed visiting the farm during harvest to see her horses’ feed being made, and met customers on the E.G.F. stand at the Defender Burghley Horse Trials 2024.
