Juliette - Petplan Equine Ambassador
It is reassuring to know that with Petplan Equine my horses are fully covered for illness, injuries and lameness until they are 25 years old, as my eldest is still eventing successfully at 21 years of age!
Juliette Edmonds is from Buntingford, Hertfordshire and competes in British Eventing and British Showjumping with her horses. She is currently competing at BE100 and BS British Novice and Discovery with Boodles (Bubba Gump). She also owns wonder pony Jess (Guess Again), who is now retired from competition at 25 years old, and Pandora (Bazaars Que Sera) who is the next generation for Juliette as Pandora has just turned 3 years old. She will begin her ridden career at the end of the summer of 2021. As a responsible horse owner and an equine vet, her horses’ wellbeing and happiness is Juliette’s prime concern.
Jess (Guess Again) is a Cob cross who was rejected by an agricultural college as she was too sharp for many of the students. At 14.3hh she has surprised everyone with her talent and amazing attitude, successfully competing up to BE Novice level. She is indeed a wonder pony! Boodles (Bubba Gump) is a Warmblood cross Irish Sport Horse who shows a lovely attitude to work and is gaining confidence every day. Juliette is really looking forward to future adventures with Pandora, and is hoping she will grow up to be a super event horse!

Juliette’s Guide to Eventing
Eventing is a complete test of skill and partnership of horse and rider consisting of three phases: dressage, show jumping and cross country. Each phase is scored separately and then combined, giving an overall penalty score - the winner having the least penalties at the end.
Juliette started competing in British Eventing in 2010 with her horse Jess, and together they managed to reach BE novice level. Are you thinking of giving eventing a go? Or would just like to find out more about what goes on at an event? Read Juliette’s guide for getting started in the sport.
