Blackdown Clothing is proud to sponsor Ellen Churchill in her 2024 Show Jumping Season. 

Were thrilled to be able to support Ellen's journey - heres a bit more about Ellen in her own words: 

’m Ellen, a Showjumper from Devon!

I’m 22 years old
 

I started riding when I was 3 years old, and caught the bug for showjumping when I was about 8.

I never had the easiest of ponies since the start. I’ve always had to make do with what I had, and learnt to ride the naughty ones from day 1!

After working away at a showjumping yard for a year, I decided to come back home and set up my own yard.

I work endless hours to fund for my own horses, delivering for Tescos in the evenings aswell as riding all day for clients horses that come in for training.

Some massive achievements that I never thought I’d do consist of; -Competing in the U18 team in Doha stadium, -Producing my own young horses to a high standard and winning many big competitions against some of the biggest names in the showjumping world -Competing in Valencia Tour for 6 weeks in 2024 and bringing home a 1st and 3rd in the world in 5yo and 6yo sections.

Im greatful for all the support from my sponsors to help make these amazing opportunities happen.
