Chantal Siddle, who runs Siddle Equine Service alongside husband Mark, offers training for horse and rider from grass roots upwards. Training all levels and all types of clients, Chantal has now trained pony club for 8 yrs and taken two teams and numerous individuals to the pony club championships. Chantal currently trains FEI pony riders, JRN and Junior Riders, Intermediate and two star event riders together with Dressage riders up to advanced medium, and ever still building the levels.

Chantal, the inspiration behind SES, started riding at the age of two, born to Nessa Nashat BHSI.

Horses were always going to be her chosen path in life. Coming up through the pony club route she then qualified as a BHS AI at the tender age of 17yrs.

She then chose to gain experience across the board in a few of the equine disciplines, starting with work experience with Ginny Leng (nee Elliot), Having gained vital experience here, Chantal still insists that what she learnt from Ginny and Dot Willis all those years ago still stands as some of the most valuable experience for eventing.

She then flew the country to the dressage world in Holland and became a rider for Leida Stryke, then part of the Dutch Kur team. Training with Anky van Grunsven (who is still one of the Worlds greatest dressage riders).

On her return form Holland it became apparent Chantal needed to earn some money and took to the world of racing for 6yrs working for trainers such as Capt Tim Forster (won four Grand Nationals) and Barry Hills. Life in the racing game was tough however gave Chantal gained all her experience in discipline and dedication (never a Christmas day off!)

Chantal had to be a working rider and then went into business to earn money to event and affiliate Dressage, Having run business in textiles and Equissage, amongst other sales avenues.

Chantal managed to take her own homebred horse to intermediate Eventing, and dressage to advanced medium. Alongside breaking and training young horses.

Still teaching all levels this then finally enabled Chantal to do her horses full time. She based herself with Kenneth Clawson (chef de equipe for the British event team show jumping) and began training with both Kenneth and Ian Woodhead former European pony team trainer.

Having moved to Yorkshire for five years Chantal met her husband Mark Siddle, the equine vet and seized the opportunity to marry. She is now back in Shropshire continuing the training and competing she so much loves.

Testimonials

"After an eight month search we finally purchased Aranka from SES 8 weeks ago. She was purchased for our 15yr old daughter who is disabled and a grade II para rider on the regional Foundation Squad. I originally enquired about another horse that SES had for sale but after Chantal listened to the details of what we required was honest enough to say that she did not think it would be suitable but she did however have one that she thought would be ideal. Chantal showed Ashleigh everything she needed to see before getting on and took things very slowly for her as she had a bad experience at the previous trial. After gradually taking over the ride Chantal could see the start of the partnership and I am glad that she helped us to make the decision to buy Aranka as I was very nervous about getting it wrong. Happily 2 weeks after getting her home I reluctantly took Ashleigh and Aranka to the Para Talent spotting just to get her out for the first time and they won the Junior Champion Trophy, £200 training voucher and secured a place at the home international at the end of the summer."

"I would highly reccomend buying a horse from SES as I feel we were given full, honest information and in addition to that I believe Chantal genuinely receives satisfaction from getting the correct match rather than just a sale."

Yvonne Jones

"Having stalked the most stunning 15.2, young dressage mare ‘Belle Amie” on the internet for 7 months (but not being in a position to buy her), I am thrilled to say I am now watching her grazing happily in my paddock. I cannot recommend SVS more highly from my buying experience with them. Chantal’s priority was clearly to match the right horse to the right buyer (for both the horse's and future owner's sakes). She was 100% upfront and honest and told me every single detail of the mare. SVS is a yard of happy and well looking horses who have wonderful facilities and are turned out and hacked as well as schooled."

"I clicked instantly with Belle, and could envisage her being my next PSG horse. Chantal was absolutely incredible in her good faith and patience over me getting the funds together (not a quick process in this particular instance!), despite having other buyers banging on the door. Since bringing Belle home Chantal has been at the end of the phone for any questions or advice I have been after and is so interested in her progress." I adore this little mare, as do the 2 Grand Prix trainers who I have taken her to for lessons, and I'm really looking forward to an exciting future with her. I'm very grateful to Chantal for her conviction in me to make the most of this super-talented horse.

Sarah Carmichael, Suffolk

A 4 year old by Slorencio x Crack C dam line is here competing in the £10,000 young horse challenge at Brightwells. Ridden and Sold by Mrs C Siddle.

Ashley Jones, Para Rider

In this months British Dressage. Para rider Ashley and her horse that Chantal hand picked for her. "Polly was always such a good horse to train. Her schooling is something she enjoys and lends herself naturally to dressage." Chantal Sisddle

Ashley's Mother

"Ashleigh is 15 and suffers from right sided hemipleghia which is the same condition as Nicola Tustain (she has had lessons with Nicola) . She has been riding since the age of 7 and we had been looking for a horse since last July as she had to retire her horse due to arthritis. We found Polly in March thanks to Chantal and she went out 2 weeks after purchase and won the Para Junior talent spotting. We are hoping for good results now during the summer season which is why it was so crucial to be able to compete in the International in July, because Ashleigh got through to selection trials for world class start squad but missed the trials as we had not found a replacement horse in time. They will however review this if she manages to get good enough scores with Polly that are in line with current squad members. She has been on the BEF Regional foundation squad for the last 2 years as their youngest rider and applications will go in for the new squad also at the end of the summer. Ashleigh uses a bar rein purchased from Albion through the national saddle centre."
