Atiya Bussey
Atiya enjoyed an abundance of success in the Children on Horses classes at home and abroad, which gave her the initial taste for international showjumping and representing her country. Placing 4th in the Grand Prix in Wierden and playing a strong part of the team which jumped to second in the Nations Cup in Austria, she was then selected to compete at the European Championships in 2018 where she posted another super double clear in the Nations Cup format.
After a successful school career and completion of her A levels, Atiya made the move to Sussex to join the 5* showjumping stable of Shane Breen at the famous All England Hickstead Showground. Here Atiya was able to refine her riding skills with excellent coaching and gained ring time developing their quality youngsters as well as showcasing the horses for the Breen Sport Horses Auction as well.
With the opportunity to ride a higher level with some older horses in her string, Atiya made the move to Manchester to join the team of Strides Equestrian. Here she developed a group of horses through to 2* 1m45 Grand Prix level, campaigning in Oliva Nova and the Andalucia Sunshine Tour, as well as on home soil.
In August 2024, Atiya decided to relocate back home alongside India to focus on developing our own horses and running the business full time. Alongside riding Atiya also has a forefront role in our office and with her great organisational skills and attention to detail also provides a cornerstone to our operation here at Wodehouse Stud also off the horse!
