British showjumper Joe Stockdale has taken on the ride on one of the country’s most exciting young horses, the eight-year-old Ebanking.

Barbara Hester’s stallion was previously ridden by Adam Botham. Joe, 22, told H&H he was looking forward to his new partnership with the quality chestnut and the opportunities it brings.
