WORSENDEN PRICILLA

My love for horses started before I could walk and my career in horses was going to be a competitive one if that was the path I was going to take. My mother Gayle has produced for many years and my passion for the show ring became inevitable from a young age. As soon as I left school I knew that producing the show horses and ponies was the path I wanted to take and it’s from then on we have become one of the leading producers. 
I have won many shows throughout the country including winning Horse of the Year show 4 times and the Royal international. I have a great passion for teaching and schooling the horses for clients and get great pleasure out of seeing the end result in the show ring!

Rose contends the 128 show pony classes. She has had a tremendous career. Last year she qualified for both Royal international and Horse of the Year Show. She qualified in two classes at the horse of the year show and was 3rd and 7th being pulled forward both times to the final line up. She has the most incredible temperament and Cerys will now be handing over the reins to William Parkin for the 2021 season.

Cerys Holley is our niece and is 11 years old. When Cerys moved back from America when she was 2 she came to visit her auntie Gayle at the yard. The moment her eyes lit up when she saw Hamish the Shetland we knew she was going to be pony mad! As soon as she was old enough to ride in the ring we purchased her first show pony and from then on she has grown in to a fabulous show rider gaining incredible results! She has qualified for the horse of the year show 5 times and has been in the top 5 at the final! Cerys loves to jump too and has a pony called monty that she gets so much enjoyment out of, always coming home with a double clear and a grin from ear to ear! She has an extremely exciting future ahead of her. With her dedication and great sportsmanship she is sure to make it to the top! 

Cerys Holley 

Name: William Parkin
Age: 9
Ponies I ride: Newoak Gold Edition
                       Stretcholt Pussykin
I’ve been riding since I was 18months old, I started on a little section a pony called Annie who loved to be dirty and was a very cheeky monkey. We competed at our first show at the age of 2 and in that year we did 5 shows with 4 wins. 
When I was still only 1 years old my grandparents bought me a 2yr old dartmoor Poppy,  Newoak Golden Edition who took me into heritage lead rein from the age of 3 and to the present day now doing first riddens together. We’ve had many wins together qualifying for RIHS 5 years on the trot in both the Pretty Polly and Open classes. 
Nikki my Show pony who we’ve had since she was 4 did a few seasons on the lead with wins at the BSPS championships but really was intended to be my first ridden. This being our first season together solo. In the very sort season we’ve had this year, it’s been amazing with loads of wins and champions including at the BSPS Championships in the 4 classes we did we had two wins a reserve champion and two 3rds. I love being apart of Team Holder because we have lots of fun in and out of the show ring. Everyone supports each other big or small, win or lose and we have great parties. Thank you Gayle and Emma for everything you’ve done for me and my ponies. Your the best. Love William xx

William Parkin 

After being born in the new forest my love for horses was inevitable even though I was born into a very non horsey family! I started riding at about 7 years old at the local riding school. At 15 I was lucky enough to have an event pony on loan which I kept on a local competition livery yard where I caught the showing bug! I then went to Hartpury college to study Equine Science. Living in the Gloucestershire area I had the opportunity to work for well renowned show producer Robert Oliver where I worked and gained a lot more experience before joining Holder Show Team. I have been lucky enough to ride a lot of beautiful horses in the show ring at both Royal International and Horse of the year show.

The Showing Journal write-up October

Well that was a very long day! After leaving the Thames Valley Welsh Show at 8.30pm we then lost an air tank on the M25 on the way home and had to be recovered getting in the door at 2am ! Massive thank you to Scott Dixon for staying with me and the lorry 
But what a show for Emma Holder and Worsenden Priscilla first and champion coloured- 3 outings 3 wins ! 

After much deliberation as we were still at the show we decided to let her have a run in the supreme as she had never been indoors and Wow she didn’t let us down giving it her all as the only part bred in there she really did strut her stuff taking the overall ridden supreme!

Also well done Debby Booth with Hurtstock over the moon who improves every road trip.

Huge thanks to the Thames Valley Team for putting in so much time and effort it is very much appreciated and to all the judges and the sponsors for their amazing gifts.

Worsenden Priscilla does it again!

A bit of a late catch up post but what an amazing day we had at the BSPA Championship show superbly run and great to see so many friends 
Emma Holder riding our own baby coloured Worsenden Pricilla on only her 2nd outing exceeded all our expectations:

1st and reserve champion open 

1st and champion novice 

And to top it off 1st reserve supreme of show 
Looking forward to next season with this combination now for some winter fun!

Success at BSPA Championships

As the mother of a pony mad 15 year girl and unfortunately not from a horsey background myself, I was luckily introduced to Gayle the Team Holder family 7 years ago and they have produced our ponies and taught my daughter ever since.  

They have taken my daughter from competing in First ridden classes on her lovely little section A pony (I will always remember her first show at the Hickstead Derby with Charlie), whilst competing at the Royal International and HOYS along the way to now entering into the eventing world too. 

I am so thankful to everyone at Team Holder, especially Gayle and Emma for all their teaching, guidance, and support over the years. They really know their stuff! But for me, far more important than the wins, is that Team Holder have provided my daughter  with incredible lifelong lessons in dedication, organisation, hard work, supporting her team mates through the highs and lows, and learning to deal with disappointment whilst celebrating the success of others. 
All this will give her the confidence to tackle anything life may through at her whilst making lifelong friends in the process. 

Team Holder are really something quite special.

Client Testimonials

We purchased this pony at the end of 2018 and last year he contested the show hunter pony classes. He won three HORSE OF THE YEAR SHOW qualifiers and qualified for both royal international and hoys. This year he has started his career in the eventing field and is proving to be a real star! He has already won the future event 6 year old final at hickstead and has jumped his first few events successfully. He is definitely one to watch! 

Bloomfield Pocket Money 

I have been with Team Holder for 6 years now, I don’t come from a horsey background, but I have always wanted to ride. It took 7 years of begging before my parents finally sent me to a riding school. I spent a couple of years there, but I wanted to go further and start competing, so I was introduced to Team Holder. They have taken me from someone who could barely ride in a straight line, to becoming the Supreme Best Rider at the BSPS Summer Championships 2019. It took many lessons, but Emma and Gayle are amazing teachers who have brought my riding on massively. They have taken me to shows that I never even dreamt of competing at, such as HOYS and the RIHS. Team Holder have produced all my ponies and I have had amazing results with every one of them. Last year, I competed on my 14hh show hunter pony, and we collected many high placings, including champion Show Hunter at Royal Suffolk County and  Stoneleigh. Now, I have started eventing with the continuous support of Emma and Gayle. They have become my family, a home away from home. I love being with them and gain so much experience on the yard. I am so grateful for the opportunities they have provided me with and continue to learn from them everyday.

Monty as he is known at home is here with us on loan for Cerys to jump and learn the ropes in the jumping ring. He is the most honest and reliable pony there ever was made and is an extremely important part of the yard.

Today is the day we picked up our lovely lorry after being away having work done and being re sprayed since the beginning of the summer! We are super impressed with how it looks and can’t wait to get out and start the new season in it! 

THE LORRY IS BACK AND READY FOR 2021!

Huge thank you to The Showing Journal for the lovely write up about our own William Parkin with Stretcholt Pussykins and Cerys Holley with Mount Pleasant Welsh Rose

The Showing Journal write-up

This mare was brought by us as a 3 year old last year and has been broken and brought on slowly. She is showing tremendous scope and is super bold over a fence. She has a huge amount of potential and is sure to go to the very top in the right hands! 

Carnsdale Make or Break 

This mare is very new to the team and is for Mis Hiscock to show next year. They are a new combination that haven’t been out yet but an exciting future awaits them. 

Burghwallis Fantasia 

This is a fabulous mare who has achieved so much in her career so far in the show ring! Royal international winner in 2018 and is now off to stud to have a foal before coming back to the show ring in the future.
