Bethany Stone
Features Assistant
Bethany’s pony obsession was enabled by her generous (but naive) non-horsey parents, who unwisely allowed her to climb aboard a pony at the tender age of two. A true Pony Club childhood ensued, as well as a vast unaffiliated riding career into adulthood.
A first-class University of Nottingham English graduate, Bethany has been writing equestrian features since 2017, first for Horse & Rider and Your Horse before joining Team H&H at the beginning of 2024. Since then, she has also taken to reporting at major British Riding Clubs events.
She particularly enjoys writing in-depth explorations of the most prestigious riders’ training techniques and equestrian philosophies, and has been lucky to pick the brains of some of the world’s best over her career.
Elsewhere, Bethany can be found writing about dogs, lifestyle and travel. Her work has featured publications such as Country Life and Breathe.
