Sporting Sisters Riding High With Sponsorship Deal

Two of East Yorkshire’s rising stars in the equestrian world are celebrating after securing a sponsorship deal. Laura and Stephanie Milner from Huggate have received support from Equiform Nutrition and Baileys Horse feed to advance their dressage and carriage driving careers respectively. Laura, 18, is a talented dressage rider who spent six months training with international dressage rider Andrew Gould last year and achieved outstanding results in national competitions. This year she plans to continue training the young horses that she has bred and compete locally and nationally with them and undergo further training in Holland. When she’s not competing, she divides her time between teaching young riders, running her own equestrian rug cleaning business, Merlin Equestrian and helping at the family stud, South Grange Stud. In 2012, 16 year old Stephanie teamed up with her father, former British Rally Champion Jonny as the back stepper and helped GB to win a gold medal in the Derby event at the Junior World Carriage Driving Championships.
