What's life like behind the scenes at one of eventing's busiest yards?

Travelling Head Girl for Tom Jackson, Chloe Whitelam, joins us in the Strawmax Stable to talk about life on the road, the horses behind a brilliant season and her journey from a non-horsey childhood to working at the top of the sport.

With Pau just around the corner, Chloe shares her hopes for Plot Twist B, reflects on some standout results and gives us an insight into the personalities that make Tom's string so special.

Highlights:

  • Chloe's journey from racing to becoming Travelling Head Girl for Tom Jackson.
  • Reflecting on Hawkeye's fourth place at Burghley and a successful season across the yard.
  • The preparation for Pau and hopes of going one better with Plot Twist B.
  • Managing a busy string of horses and building relationships with each of them.
  • Chloe's Olympic ambitions and her advice for anyone hoping to build a career with horses.
  • Life outside the yard, dream sporting events and the lucky blue nails making a return for Pau.

A great chance to get to know one of the people working behind the scenes to help make top-level eventing happen.
