01. Laura Renwick
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.
02. John Renwick
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.

Arkuga victorious in the 3* Grand Prix in Vilamoura
Our wonderful homebred Arkuga (Messi) wins the €100,000 3* Grand Prix today in Vilamoura so grateful to James Smith for riding him so brilliantly these past few weeks having never sat on him before. He has already taken a win and 3rd in Ranking classes and placing another of the Grand Prixs.
John and I are so incredibly proud to have bred such a fabulous horse out of our exceptional mare, Beluga, by the great Arko and he has given us so many of these moments being such a natural born winner but after finishing 2nd on two previous occasions with me in the 3* Grand Prixs in Vilamoura he finally has the win he deserves. Thanks so much to the team out here, Ciara Miller and Nikki Park, for taking such great care of him. Thanks to James for being the brilliant rider he is and thanks to my sponsors.
Another successful Al Shira'aa Bolesworth Young Horse Championships
Keep saying this but we are so grateful to Laura Mantel for not only riding our horses but winning on them! Today she won the 5 year old Championship at Bolesworth with Michelob (Tangelo van de Zuuthoeve x Orlando) the same final his full brother Labatt won last year and a few years ago his other full brother BINTANG won the 7 year old Championship! All British bred by the Bleekman family. Obviously some good genes there and I hope I recover well enough to ride these young stars. For those of your who don’t know I have had surgery on a broken pelvis and femur which I broke badly in a fall 6 weeks ago. It’s going to be long road to get back to where I was but with horses like this to inspire me I hope to be back in the saddle sooner rather than later.
Also exciting for our home breeding programme NFS Gem Twister (Murkas Gen Twist x Burgaraaf) was 3rd in this final. None of this would be possible without the back bone of our team, John, who is the driving force behind all of us #teamrenwick thanks also the Beth Byfield Ciara Miller and James Ironton for looking after them all so well and to all the team at home 🙏🏻
