David Dyer Saddles Proudly Sponsor Mia Stathopoulos

Mia is 10 years old and competes in British Show Jumping she also enjoys Showing Shetland Ponies especially her own Shetland Pony 3 years old Hackamore Black Tie Affair and her mom's Shetland Pony Carajane Dream Catcher.    

Mia started riding before she could walk, she learnt to ride on a 33 inch Miniature Shetland called Joshua (Mighty Atom), when she was 5 years old her Nana bought her Saltre Lysander (Sandy) for her Birthday, she could barely get her legs past the saddle flaps as he was a good 12.2hh pony and Mia wasn’t and still isn’t very tall. This is where her love of jumping started, she then went on to ride Penwood Nathaly (Poppy) for a friend of her Mum and eventually they bought her, Mia won many show jumping classes on this mare. Next was Killea Tina the feisty Connemara mare who Mia has been bringing on for the past 18 months with her coach. In January 2021 we were very lucky to be offered Country Town Kacey or Townie to her friend who is a super 138cm mare who has already taught Mia so much.

Mia also enjoys Carriage driving her Mum's ponies and is also having Dressage lessons as her Mum says they are important!
