Christina Wiederkehr
EVENTING
I started my riding career in Switzerland but had the opportunity to do a school year in the UK during which time I completed my BHS exams and found a love for Eventing. I returned to the UK a few years later to gain my Intermediate Instructor Qualification and established my own competition yard from which I have competed for Switzerland at 3* level in Eventing and produced horses up to Prix St. George in pure dressage.
I enjoy guiding aspiring young riders drawing upon coaching experience gained from several years of shadowing the British Performance Squads under Yogi Breisner.
My passion is to give horses an opportunity and to develop them so that they enjoy their work. I have produced a huge variety of horses in different disciplines and successfully improved challenging horses where others have been unsuccessful.
Staying open minded and offering the horses the best products available in order to keep them physically and mentally well is part of my Ethos and key to success. This is why I am extremely fortunate and delighted to be one of your brand ambassadors.

Ed Creamer
DRESSAGE
I come from a completely unhorsey background and learnt to ride in riding schools where in exchange for a days work I would be able to sit on one of the horses.
Horses have always been an insatiable love for me and as a result I decided to leave college to work with them full time.
My first full time job was oddly enough with fellow brand ambassador and friend Andrew Gould who helped me find my very first horse Sven who was bought for me as a three year old.
Somehow, despite having no idea what I was really doing and being thrown off at least twice a week for a few months, I managed to take him up through the levels and competed to Grand Prix.
After working for Andrew I then moved to Germany where I was very lucky to train and work for German team trainer and multiple medal winner Monica Theoderescu and her father Jorge. The hours were long but what I learnt was priceless.
Since returning to England I have trained and taught numerous horses, riders and combinations to help achieve their ambitions and goals as well as competed in countless competitions myself. Most recently my young stallion won the international 5yr old championship in 2017 and then the international 6yr old tittle 2018. I’m hoping our future together will fulfill the dreams I had when I first started of representing GB.
Being part of the KM Elite family is a great honour and something, when I first starting working with horses, never dreamed would happen.

Katie Bedwin
ENDURANCE
Leading UK Endurance Rider, 6 2019 National Titles, Ranked 2nd GB Rider in the FEI U21 Rankings in 2019. Reserve Young Rider National Champion 2019.
The stride free saddles have transformed my horses’ way of going and therefore massively helped my teams’ success. There is a notable increase in the horses’ stride length, which over distances of 120/160km makes a huge difference to the horses’ effort. Because of the lessened effort and the relaxed nature of the horse in the saddle, I have seen a reduction in presentation times since using these saddles. Endurance horses naturally develop and strengthen over many years, so my saddler Ellie Martin can use the adjustability of the tree and wool flocking to ensure the best fit for each horse. As an endurance rider, I can be in the saddle for up to 13hours at a time, so I need a saddle that is comfortable for me too, and the Stride Free meets this requirement too!
HEROS
CHARITY
HEROS Charity was granted charitable status in 2006 with help from the RoR (Retraining of Racehorses) and North Farm Stud, where the charity it based.
Every year thousands of racehorses leave the sport for a variety of reasons including injury, old age and lack of ability. But retirement from racing does not have to mean the end for these horses.
HEROS has successfully rehomed hundreds of ex-racehorses and has developed an extremely good reputation for correctly matching the horses to their new owners across all disciplines; as competition horses, hacks or simply companions, truly giving them a second chance and an opportunity to enjoy 'A New Life After Racing
