Laura is one of Britain's Leading Lady Riders. Laura has graced international show jumping for over a decade. Based in Maldon, Essex with her husband, former show jumper John Renwick, and teenage son Jack. Born in 1974, Laura has been involved with horses all her life, but it was on her return to show jumping following the birth of her son that Laura took the show jumping world by storm. Laura is renowned for her training skills and her ability to pass on her invaluable knowledge to others. Her expertise in producing yoiung horses, gradually over a period of time to compete at international level is renowned - Laura comments "The process is very much perceived as a marathon and not a sprint!". Renowned for her competent yet fearless riding, Laura recently enjoyed immense success at Olympia - partnering the 8 year old Top Dollar VI, they were the sole combination to clear the 7ft. wall to head a particularly strong field in the Cayenne Puissance. Laura has been an integral part of Britain's show jumping team over many years and is 100% committed to the sport she loves and sets her future goals high with ambitions of competing at the Tokyo 2020 and World Championship.
Born in 1972 John Renwick quickly built up a career in horses, competing at the Horse of the Year show every consecutive year from the age of 11. John had produced and ridden many of the equine stars in showjumping, such as Cushty, Coeur and Twister X, with many international wins, including Horse of The Year Show. In 2002 John Renwick took a break from competing on the international stage and he has since concentrated his efforts on supporting his talented wife Laura Renwick and building up an enviable reputation in finding and producing top showjumping horses from a young age up to grand prix level.
Laura and Top Star C have taken France by storm, picking up FOUR wins in the 7 year old classes.
Top Star C (Big Star x Draco) has been making waves in his very first international trip to France. Owned by Ian and Sue Clark, this promising young horse jumped clear in 11/12 classes, across Gassin and Barbaste, in the south of France.
Now Laura, Top Star C and the other members of team Renwick, are headed back to the UK for some well earned rest and relaxation, ahead of what's looking to be a very exciting season. What a pair!
