Gemma Redrup

Gemma joined H&H in July 2014 having graduated from the Royal Agricultural University in 2013 with a degree in international agricultural and equine business management. She spent more than 11 years as part of the editorial team, before moving on to fresh opportunities.

While working as digital features editor, Gemma was responsible for overseeing all the feature content on the H&H website. In November 2020, Gemma became point-to-point editor for the brand, working across print and digital, as well as adding digital racing content to her list of responsibilities.

Gemma is an experienced reporter who has covered multiple disciplines, but has a particular passion for eventing and point-to-pointing. She has reported at some of the biggest eventing competitions in the world including Badminton, Burghley, Luhmühlen, Pau, Bramham and Blenheim, and has travelled to three senior European Eventing Championships and three Junior and Young Rider European Eventing championships in France, Germany, Italy, Ireland and The Netherlands. Gemma’s particular favourite event is Burghley Horse Trials and she has spoken about her passion for this five-star on the Eventing Weekly podcast.

Gemma grew up as a member of the Burghley branch of the Pony Club and has evented to intermediate and CCI2*-L level. She spent two gap years working on a busy five-star event yard for Richard Jones, was captain of the equestrian team at university, and also represented her country competing internationally on the Great Britain Student Riders squad.

She has enjoyed riding out for multiple champion trainers Nicky Henderson and Charlie Appleby and also took part in a charity Flat race around the Derby course at Epsom Downs in August 2018. Gemma continues to ride regularly for owners in eventing, showjumping, dressage and out hunting.
