Equesure Insurance is thrilled to be partnering with a renowned Tonbridge based equine duo, Janine Lamy and Martin Wright, who make the formidable Team Lamy Wright.
The married couple are industry powerhouses. Janine is one of the region’s most recognised coaches, specialising in flatwork, show jumping and cross-country training, and Martin is well known locally as an amateur eventer and a member of the British Eventing Rider Working Group around his day job, competing regularly at British Eventing 100cms level.
Team Lamy Wright are passionate about nurturing talent and train grassroots competitors up to British Eventing level. Based with Louisa Day at her Carmen Court yard near Tonbridge, Janine hosts regular show jumping clinics from April to August and indoor ones during the winter at Four Elms Farm near Edenbridge, in addition to travelling around the South East for private and group lessons.
“Janine and Martin are truly dedicated to our community and getting the best out of riders and their horses. Their beliefs and values match ours and I’m excited to be working with them.” says Equesure’s, Maurice Gosney.
“At Equesure, all our staff either own, loan or ride horses regularly so appreciate the time, love and care they need. We truly understand the industry and pride ourselves on arranging the best cover we can to offer our customers peace of mind.”
Janine comments: “We are thrilled to be sponsored by Equesure Insurance; a lovely team at the end of the phone who care about the problem you may be facing. We are very much looking forward to developing our partnership with them through 2022.”

Once again I threw Arlo in at the deep end, affiliating him purely for the Arena UK second round show, and once again he pulled it out the bag. How lucky am I to have such a wonderful little horse? We haven’t really competed this year. I don’t really compete over the winter, and also my horsebox was away for repairs up until the beginning of June, so I had no transport even if I’d wanted to.
With the dry ground we don’t seem to be having much luck with shoes, as little madam managed to pull both her front shoes off within 12 hours the other day! We entered the arena with two shoes on for a schooling session and left it with one missing (took about an hour to find it). Then that afternoon, as I went to put some hoof ointment on, I looked down and had to double take, thinking I was looking at the wrong hoof. But, no, the other shoe was missing too.
After having a long wait and some lunch at the onsite café, it was time to get ready for the Joan Wolfe Overall Supreme Shetland Pony Championship. I got changed out of my usual showing outfit into black trousers and a maroon top with white spots, as you are expected to be a bit more “bling” in the evening.
We were all set to go for our next outing, and were super excited. That was until I heard the dreaded clunk of a loose shoe! I checked it over, praying it wasn’t too loose, but, nope, it was going to need a refit.
