Commenting on the partnership, said Ben Maher:

“I’m excited to partner with HorseHage. We spend a lot of time away at competitions and the HorseHage High Fibre haylage plays a key part in ensuring our horses get the same quality forage as they would at home. It’s a product we trust and have been using for years when we travel.”

Emily, daughter of eventing icon Mary King, is following in her mother’s footsteps and has forged her own very successful career on the international eventing circuit.

At the age of fifteen, she finished seventh individually at the Junior Europeans in 2011 and then claimed the silver individual medal the following year. In 2015, she was third at Chatsworth International Horse Trials in the CIC3*; fifth and sixth in the U21 CCI2* at Houghton Hall; fifth in the U25 CCI3* at Bramham International; second in the CIC3* in Ballindenisk and second in the Seven-Year-Old Championship at Osberton.

Emily’s team of event horses are all fed on High Fibre HorseHage which is a high quality, dust-free bagged forage containing no chemical additives.


Roberta Sheffield

Roberta Sheffield

Roberta (Bert) Sheffield is a Canadian Paralympic team member and dressage rider based in the UK. She has suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for over fifteen years which affects her limbs and neck. She is classified with the FEI as having a Grade 3 disability and competes in both Paralympic and able-bodied competitions.

Bert represented Canada at the World Equestrian Games in 2014 and was placed fourth; she represented them again in 2018 as well as in the Rio Paralympics. She is aiming for selection for Tokyo next year with her own horse, Fairuza (Wonky).


Lucy McCarthy

Lucy McCarthy (née Wiegersma)

One of the world’s former top event riders, Lucy Wiegersma is the only British event rider to have won all three national eventing titles (Junior in 1995, Young Rider in 1998 and Senior in 2006). With wins over the years at Blenheim, Blair Castle and Bramham three-day-events under her belt, Lucy narrowly missed adding Badminton to the list when she finished in second place in 2008. She was selected onto the British three-day-eventing team for the Olympics in Hong Kong but sadly had to withdraw due to lameness affecting her horse, Shaabrak, which was a huge disappointment. The pair were also runners-up at the International Express Eventing Cup at Cardiff.

She was selected onto the 2014 GB Nations Cup CICO squad to represent Great Britain during the FEI Nations Cup Series, which is supported by the UK Sport funded World Class Programme.


Padraig McCarthy

Padraig McCarthy

Originally from Tipperary in Ireland, Padraig has been involved with horses from a young age and trained under the guidance of Rolf Goran Bengtsson, Max Hauri and Hans Horn. This was followed by almost ten years spent show-jumping and training horses of all levels in Europe and the USA.

He made the switch from show-jumping to eventing and rode at his first BE event in 2013, climbing up through the ranks extremely quickly. By the end of the 2015 season, he had ridden for Ireland on several eventing Nations Cup teams, including the team that placed fourth at Aachen and the only Irish team to win an FEI Eventing Nations Cup at Boekelo. He was a member of the 2015 Irish European Championship team at Blair Castle and in 2016 he had his first three wins at 3* level, claiming victory at both Chatsworth and Tattersalls. As a result of this, he was selected for the Rio Olympics on both his top horses, Simon Porloe and Bernadette Utopia.

With a great eye for recognising talented young horses, Padraig has built up a wide client base who value his knowledge and experience. Along with his wife Lucy (see above), he set up their successful business MGH Sport Horses in 2014, based in Devon, breeding, training and selling equines for show-jumping and eventing and also coaching riders.


Charlotte "Pip" Blain

Charlotte “Pip” Blain

Pip is a dressage rider and trainer based on the West Sussex/Hampshire border. Her top horse is Jan Palmer’s Donatella IV (Roo) who is a dinky chestnut mare that is successfully competing at Small Tour. Highlight results for the pair so far, came in December 2019 when they finished 3rd at the BD Small Tour Championships, and last year when they finished 3rd in the PSG Silver Petplan Final. This also saw them achieve international qualifying scores, which sadly injury prevented happening in 2021, but will hopefully be their aim for 2022.

Pip’s other ride is younger horse, Frodo, who is an exciting prospect for the future. But a somewhat miracle horse to her after suffering a severe bout of colic, which required surgery, but he has bounced back to successfully compete in 2021.


Alfie Diaper

Alfie Diaper
