About Us

Welcome to Charkhill Equestrian. Charkhill was established in 1998 by Michael Kent and his daughter Alison who has been riding since the age of two and competing on the show jumping circuit since the age of twelve.

Her first ponies were 128cms Grayling & Garrow Garfinch who she had many successes with. She then progressed through ponies finishing with her two 148cm ponies Towlers Fairy Magic & Bold Sprite which had been bought from Co.Kilkenny where she had been a member of the Irish pony showjumping team.

After reaching 16 yrs old she made a successful transition from ponies to horses. Her first horse was Always Spotless whom she has been based with International Showjumper Lynne Bevan based at her yard in Abergavenny, Wales.

Returning home Alison was offered a young rider training placement with well known showjumping coach Robert Lickley based at Kingswood Equestrian Centre in Shropshire where she aimed at young rider classes. She has now returned to Charkhill to concentrate on producing and selling showjumpers.
