India Bussey
India has benefitted from riding a wide variety of horses early on in her career making her naturally very adaptable. She has also enjoyed having the opportunity on numerous occasions to produce her horses right through to Grand Prix level. Since winning a silver medal at the European Championships in Austria in 2015, India has been producing a good team of horses and becoming established in the senior levels, in 2018 stepping up to Grand Prix level jumping CSI** Ranking classes at home and abroad. India is also not shy of the big stages with placings at HOYS and Olympia on ponies and has also competed in the Puissance at just 17 years old!
Most recently she has represented her country on Young Rider Nations Cup teams and has an impressive resume up to 4* 1m50 level.
Directly after her last A Level exam, India moved down to The Billy Stud in Surrey where she spent a year learning from William & Pippa Funnell about the breeding and production of their young horses. During COVID, she also spent some time in Germany and also in Belgium learning from the top Belgian showjumper, Pieter Devos.
India then spent a year riding for the ESM Equestrian & Evan’s & Barham Showjumping teams in Derbyshire where she developed horses all the way through upto 4* 1m50 level and represented Team GB on the Young Rider Nations Cup team.
With successful sales as a result of this, India then made the move back to Europe to join the world renowned Stephex Stables in Belgium. Here, India was able to learn alongside some of the top riders in our sport, with guidance and support from the likes of Daniel Deusser, Kendra Claricia Brinkop, Michael Hughes & Petronella Andersson. These 2 years were invaluable gaining a wealth of knowledge and experience developing a vast amount of horses in the ring upto CSI 3* level.
Feeling equipt and motivated, India made the move back home in August 2024 to take over the reigns of the Stud alongside Atiya & Louise to develop our own horses and take on new horses from owners from our Norfolk base.
