Poden Farms has announced that Holly Smith, Great Britain’s highest ranked female rider, will be joining their team alongside Emily Moffitt and Lorenzo De Luca. 

Smith is one of Great Britain’s most accomplished riders and has competed at the Olympic Games in Tokyo in 2021, at the European Championships in Rotterdam in 2019 – where she contributed to the British team bronze medal – as well as at the World Equestrian Games in Tryon in 2018. 

Alongside Emily Moffitt, Smith was on the winning British team in the Longines FEI Nations Cup in Dublin in 2019, and other notable victories include the Kingdom of Bahrain Stakes for The King's Cup at the Royal Windsor, as well as the prestigious La Baule Derby – next to numerous other wins in five-star competitions at some of the world’s best venues. 

“The Moffitt-family, Poden Farms and Lorenzo De Luca could not have been more supportive or welcoming,” Smith said in a press release from Poden Farms. “I am very excited about what the future holds. Poden Farms has a track record of owning and producing some of the best horses in the world. I look forward to contributing to and being part of their continued success.”
