Annie Goodwin was a rising star in the sport of eventing. Her huge smile, infectious laugh, enthusiasm for life, and dedication to her sport, made her an endearing member of our community.
Isabelle Bosley has been riding her entire life, and started eventing at age eight. She has worked for 5* rider, Lillian Heard, for the last eight years and is slowly building up her own business. With Lillian's guidance, Isabelle has hopes of being at the top of the sport one day. Isabelle has competed through the 4* level and has three main competition horses, all at different levels, that she has produced with the help of Lillian.
On being informed that she was selected as the recipient for the 2023 grant, Isabelle commented:
"I am incredibly honored and grateful to receive this grant. Annie was a fantastic horsewoman in this sport, and someone I looked up to not only as a rider but also as a person. I feel very privileged to be chosen as the inaugural recipient, and am looking forward to the opportunities this grant will present in the 2024 season!"
