Joe’s father, the much-missed show jumper Tim Stockdale, was one of the first to embrace Haygain Hay Steaming after it was commercially introduced in 2009.

“I remember my dad getting quite excited about it when he brought me out to show me this new bit of kit,” recalls Joe. He’s now 24 and making his own mark on the international show jumping world. In 2022, he was the youngest member of Team Great Britain when it earned its first jumping medal – a bronze – at the ECCO World Equestrian Championships in Herning, Denmark.

It was Amore who brought Jessica and her White Rose Ranch to the Haygain threshold. The Welsh pony/Thoroughbred-cross had been with the eventing trainer’s Southern California facility for six months without health issues.
